Sex Related Offenses In San Diego County
Sex related offenses in San Diego are very serious criminal cases. If convicted, you would be facing custody time in a San Diego County Jail, or you will be sent to state prison. Even when you have completed your prison term, often the government will seek to have it found that you still possess “a risk to the public,” forcing you to be housed as a patient at one of several state hospitals. Whether you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor sex related offense, you would be required to pay a large fine, undergo intensive psychological counseling, and register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This information will be available to the general public on most police and Department of Justice websites.
Only an aggressive and experienced San Diego criminal defense attorney can offer you the best chances of minimizing or eliminating the negative consequences of a sex related conviction.
