Understanding Sex Crime Charges In Georgia
Sexual offenses are governed by Chapter 6 of O.C.G.A. Title 16. These are some of the most serious crimes under the law. Here are some of the more commonly committed sexual offenses:
- Rape: Occurs when an individual has forced carnal knowledge of a female against her will or if the female is under 10 years of age.
- Statutory rape: Engaging in sexual intercourse with a person younger than 16 who is not the defendant’s spouse.
- Aggravated sodomy: Forcible sexual contact involving the genitals, anus or mouth of another person against the will of the other person or with a person under 10 years of age.
- Child molestation: Committing immoral or indecent actions or in the presence of a child under 16.
- Sexual battery: Intentionally making physical contact with the intimate parts of another person without consent.
These crimes carry the potential for extensive prison sentences, lifetime probation, expensive fines and mandatory registration as a sex offender upon conviction.
How Sex Offender Registration Can Ruin Your Future
Georgia mandates that people convicted of certain sexual offenses must register as sex offenders with the local sheriff’s office. They must provide:
- Fingerprints
- Photographs
- Employment details
- Residency information
Often, this is a lifetime requirement. Registration as a sex offender carries severe restrictions, including prohibitions from living or working within 1,000 feet of places where children gather, such as schools or playgrounds. The registry information is publicly accessible, leading to social stigma and difficulties in securing housing and employment. In addition, you face the constant threat of new felony charges for any failure to comply with the reporting and residency rules.
The Importance Of Immediate Legal Action
The long-term impact of a sex crime conviction makes every stage of the defense process critical. Without a strong defense, you stand to lose your job, suffer expulsion from school or even go to prison. From challenging the initial investigation and evidence collection to negotiating with prosecutors and presenting a robust case at trial, an experienced criminal defense attorney is essential. This is where I come in. I use my knowledge as a former prosecutor to shield you from the state’s prosecution to the best of my ability.
