What is a Sex Crime?

A sex crime is a relatively broad term that describes a sexual assault or a crime with a sexual motive. There are several types of sex crimes, all of which have serious consequences for those charged with the crime. In cases with more severe or aggravating circumstances, sex crimes may be prosecuted by federal courts. Sex crimes carry a variety of severe penalties, including negative stigmas associated with your name. Learn more below about the different types of sex crimes and sex crime charges in New York and New Jersey. 

What are the Types of Sex Crimes?

There are seven primary categories that most sex crimes fall under. The penalties associated with the crime will depend on the type of sex crime that was committed.

Indecency with a Child or Molestation

Engaging in sexual contact with a child or causing a child to engage in sexual contact.

Rape/Aggravated Sexual Assault

Sexual intercourse (penetration) without consent and accomplished through force and/or threat of violence or intimidation.

Statutory Rape

Sexual intercourse with someone below the age of consent, but above the age of a child. Even if consent is given, it is still statutory rape if the victim is below the age of consent. Ages of consent and ages of children vary by state.

Sexual Assault of a Child

When someone older or bigger than the child (which may be an adult or older child) manipulates or forces a child into sexual activity.

Possession of Child Pornography

Possessing pornography that contains images or video of anyone under the age of 17 (NY) or 18 (NJ).

Sex Offender Violation

Violating the terms of sex offender registration, either neglecting to register as a sex offender or violating the rules of the sex offender registry.

Internet Sex Crimes/Attempted Sexual Assault

May include the possession or distribution of child pornography on the internet, sexual solicitations, or the conspiracy to commit a sex crime.

Charges for Sex Crimes in New York and New Jersey

Sex crime charges are serious and can result in placement on the sex offender registry as well as jail time. Those who are charged with a sex crime, but maintain their innocence, deserve proper representation in court by an experienced and qualified criminal defense attorney who understands the sensitive nature of sex crimes. At The Gallucci Law Firm, we excel in detailed investigations of sex cases to determine the validity and credibility of witnesses in your case.

Who is Put on the Sex Offender Registry?

Certain sex offenses and sex offenses against children will likely require an individual to register as a sex offender. Registration is typically required every year and whenever the person moves. Failure to register can be considered its own criminal offense. Registering as a sex offender involves submitting personal information, which is then added to the national sex offender public registry. The length of time that someone remains on the registry will depend on the crime that was committed and the sentencing requirements.
