Sex crimes

Sex crimes have become a cultural obsession in America. Combining salacious details and societal paranoia, the allegations of and prosecutions for sex crimes have exploded in the past decade. And new crimes are added to the books every year. Worse, when you combine the increasing sexuality of teenagers, and the reductions in age when a person can be tried as an adult, it has become all too easy for a family to suddenly have a loved one accused of a sex crime.

Crimes that can be considered "sex crimes" include:

• Rape, including date rape
• Molestation or sexual abuse
• Sexting, even between minors
• Internet sex crimes, and pornography
• Sexual harassment
• Prostitution
• Indecent exposure and consensual sex in public

The penalties associated with a sex crime conviction are life changing. These crimes can carry heavy fines, long prison sentences, mandatory mental health treatment, lifetime monitoring, and of course the label of "sex offender" for life.
