Sex crimes and child pornography charges are unique for many reasons. In many cases, there are few, if any, eyewitnesses. Punishments for the most serious sex crimes are so severe, they amount to life in prison.
The most serious sex crimes include:
- Sexual assault (rape)
- Sexual conduct with a minor
- Sexual molestation of a child
- Continuous sexual abuse of a child
- Child pornography (possession, distribution, production)
- Unlawful sexual conduct
- Sexual abuse
- Indecent exposure
- Public sexual indecency
Sex offenses against children will implicate a sentencing scheme called “dangerous crimes against children” (DCAC). These types of crimes, involving child victims, can lead to the most severe prison sentences that exist under Arizona law. DCAC offenses also attract the attention of aggressive prosecutors who fight for long prison terms.
Sex Offender Registration
Sex offender registration, for those who successfully avoid a lengthy prison term, is an utterly demoralizing and debilitating life punishment that includes public humiliation; strict restrictions on where you can live; difficulty finding employment; personal and physical attacks; complicated registration rules and processes; regular visitations with law enforcement; and constant fear.
