Is it true that there is mandatory sentencing for sex crimes?
Sexual offense charges are serious; even if you are innocent you must hire an experienced Arizona sex offense lawyer. Often people charged with sex offenses are denied the opportunity to plea bargain their case. In addition, Arizona’s mandatory sentencing laws require a term of five to fourteen years for rape and thirteen to twenty-seven years for sex offenses involving children. The term of imprisonment is commonly known as “flat time”, which means there is no parole or early release.
