Criminal sex offenses run the gamut from moderate misdemeanors to extremely serious felonies. Some of these crimes involve direct aggression against another person/people. Other crimes involve intent to commit unlawful sexual acts or generally inappropriate and unlawful sexual behavior. Common crimes in this category include:

• Sexual assault and battery.
• Indecent exposure in public or semi-public place.
• Soliciting the services of a prostitute.
• Molesting a child under the age of 14(P.C. 288.)
• Consensual intercourse with someone younger than 18 years old (statutory rape P.C. 261.5).
• Possession of illicit/obscene pornographic materials.
• Commission of a lewd act in a public arena.
• Failure to register as a sex offender (P.C. 290.)

Sex Crime attorneys of Criminal Defense Team have represented many defendants accused of sex crimes in San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange County. We are well aware of this sensitive area of law and the fact that some allegations can result in a first time defendant being sent to prison for life (Penal Code Section 287.) Call us to gain insight and knowledge from one of our experienced Orange County sex crime attorneys. We are especially familiar with Penal Code Section 288 and options under 288.1

Those who are found guilty of certain sex crimes will have to register with their local law enforcement and DOJ as sex offenders for the rest of their lives (Penal Code Section 290.) Failure to register could cost the offender years in prison.
