Accused of a Felony Sex Crime in Colorado Springs?

The very word "sex crime" calls up complex emotions in juries, judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and those who are accused of felony sex crimes. Given the severity of the punishment, it's no wonder - felony sex crimes don't just land you in jail, they can ruin your reputation and require you to register on a sex offender database that follows you for life. Read on for more information on what to do if you're accused of a felony sex crime.

Felony sex crimes generally carry far heavier potential sentences than misdemeanors. Generally, sex crimes that include an element of threats, intimidation, or force are felonies. Indecent exposure and some pornography charges are generally the only sex crimes excluded from felony status. As felonies, sex crimes have long sentences and can incur the convicted person heavy fines; in addition, convicted sex criminals must register as sex offenders, may have to serve probation for life, and can face mandatory life sentences in prison depending on the severity of the crime. And that's not to mention the irreparable damage a felony sex crime accusation or conviction can do to your reputation, your community, and your career.
