Sex Crime Lawyer in Peoria

Sex offenses generally involve any sex act conducted or threatened without the consent of the other party or an unwanted communication that is sexual in nature. There are other situations that are considered sex crimes such as those involving a minor, even if the minor consented.

Sex-Crime Accusations: Lifelong Impact

Regardless of the description of the sex crime with which someone is charged, simply the accusation—whether true or false—can ruin a person’s reputation and future. Besides the possibility of harsh fines, restitution, and imprisonment, being labeled as a sex offender has many repercussions.

The Lasting Impact of Sex Crime Allegations

Sex crimes are highly emotional, and the impact of an accusation can extend far beyond the courtroom. The stigma of being labeled a sex offender is something that can follow you for years to come, affecting your career, family, and social life. Beyond potential prison sentences and heavy fines, sex offenders are often required to register with state or federal authorities for an extended period, often for a lifetime.

A false accusation, even if it doesn’t lead to a conviction, can change the course of your life forever. That's why having an experienced defense team is critical.
