What are the Penalties for a Sex Crime Conviction in Virginia?

The penalties for sex crimes are severe and most situations are charged as felonies. Depending on the circumstances of the charge, you could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $100,000, or both. Even when you are released from prison, the conviction will follow you, particularly if you are required to register as a sex offender. If you learn you are being investigated for this type of crime or have been arrested, you should contact a sex offense lawyer in Alexandria, VA immediately.

Sex Offender Registry

A conviction of a sex crime is very serious. In some situations, a person the accused may be required to register as a sex offender. This is required for convictions of rape, forcible sodomy, object sexual penetration, indecent liberties with a minor, and carnal knowledge of a minor between the ages of 13 and 14 when the convicted person is more than five years older than the victim.

The sex offender registry is an online database that has your name, age, distinguishing characteristics and details about the crime that you were convicted of. This will make it increasingly difficult to find places to work and live. That is why you need the help of an experienced sex crime attorney from Silis & Associates.
