Serious Consequences, Even Before Your Trial Begins

The harsh and unfair reality of sex crime cases is that the public, judge, and jury often subconsciously decide that the accused is guilty before a trial can even commence. The thought of committing a sex crime is so offensive to many people, from social and religious viewpoints, that they predetermine guilt, rather than assuming innocence first. This leaves the accused in a precarious, uphill battle that takes remarkable legal knowledge, prowess, and determination to win.

Sex Crime Charges in Tennessee

There are numerous sex crimes listed in Tennessee legal statutes, but some of the most common are:

• Rape
• Sexual assault
• Child molestation
• Possession of child pornography
• Prostitution
• Indecent exposure

Any conviction for a sex crime can include jail time and high fines, but the actual durations and amounts will vary from one case to another. What remains consistent is the penalty of mandatory sexual offender registration. For most sex crimes, offenders must place their name on a list that may sometimes be accessed by the public; they may also need to inform potential employers, educators, landlords, and neighbors that they have been convicted of a sex crime in the past. Most of the time, removal from sex crime registrations is not possible, even if a person is convicted of a nonviolent, first-time offense years and years ago.
