Common Types Of Sex Crimes Prosecuted Under Wisconsin Law
Across Wisconsin, sexual crimes have serious consequences. Here are the most common types of sex crimes:
- Sexual assault and rape: Sexual violence that includes rape and other sexual offences such as forced kissing, groping or harming someone in a sexual manner.
- Indecent exposure: The intentional display of genitals to cause alarm, scare or arouse another person.
- Prostitution and solicitation: Prostitution and solicitation are sex crimes under Chapter 944 of the statutes.
- Child pornography: Possession of child pornography can lead to long prison sentences and lifelong sex offender registration.
- Sexual abuse and statutory rape: Sexual abuse and statutory rape penalties vary based on the age of the victim and the nature of the offense.
A conviction for any of these offenses can result in irreversible harm to personal and professional relationships. Early intervention by an attorney can make a difference in the outcome of your case.
Sex Offender Registry Information And Consequences
In a sex offender registry, one is required to register personal details such as name, address, photo and criminal history with law enforcement to enable police monitoring and enhance public safety. The consequences of the sex offender registry are:
- Housing restrictions: Restrictions on where registrants can live, making housing scarce.
- Employment challenges: Many employers hesitate to hire registered individuals. This can limit job prospects.
- Social and personal impacts: Information is often public, leading to community suspicion and intense feelings of shame and isolation. One can be denied child custody and freedom to travel.
As a sex crime defense lawyer, I can help navigate these challenges by negotiating charges or seeking alternatives to avoid sex offender registration.
