What Is Considered a Sex Crime in Texas?
Sex crimes are some of the most serious criminal offenses in the state of Texas. A conviction for a sex crime can result in life-altering consequences. You may be required to register as a sex offender, lose your ability to work with children, and be prohibited from living near places where children congregate. You may also be required to forfeit your right to vote and own firearms. If you have been charged with a sex crime, you must retain legal representation immediately.
Many types of crimes can be considered sex crimes. Sexual assault, sexual abuse, and aggravated sexual assault are all types of sex crimes.
Other sex crimes include:
- Prostitution
- Indecent exposure
- Child pornography
- Sexual performance by a child
- Indecency by contact
- Solicitation of a prostitute
- Online solicitation of a minor
- Internet sex crimes
- Failure to register as a sex offender
Penalties for Sex Crimes in Texas
The penalties for sex crimes in Texas are severe and can vary widely depending on the nature and circumstances of the offense. They may include lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, and lifelong registration as a sex offender. This registration can limit where you can live and work, and it subjects you to ongoing scrutiny by law enforcement and the community.
