Potential Sex Crimes Penalties
Being accused of a sex crime in the state of Texas covers quite a few different situations. A sex crime can involve indecent exposure, sexual assault, and many more crimes in between.
One of the penalties that are commonly assigned after a conviction of sex crimes in Texas (TX Penal Code Chapter 43) is a requirement that the convicted person registers as a sex offender with the state of Texas, meaning her name will appear on the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry.
Anyone can search this website. Should your name appear on it, you could find that employers may choose not to hire you or that a rental manager may deny you a rental unit. You also may lose personal relationships and friends when you appear on this list.
A Life-Changing Decision
Do not rush into a decision to plead guilty to a sex crime. Beyond being placed on the offender website, you also may face significant fines, jail time, or prison time.
Charges involving indecency will likely result in a misdemeanor, while charges involving abuse of a child or violence in committing the sex crime will result in a felony. If you are convicted of a felony, after serving your time, you may be denied the ability to vote in public elections and may lose the ability to legally own a firearm.
