Sex Crime Attorney in St. Louis, MO

Sex offenses are some of the most strictly punished crimes in Missouri and can have wide-ranging consequences for the individuals charged. The social stigma a sex crime carries with it and the potential registration requirements accompanying a sexual offense can be even more devastating than the potential criminal penalties one faces. The only thing to do in the face of sex crime allegations is to involve an attorney who can preserve your rights.

The criminal justice system and U.S. Constitution offer a number protections to people charged with or accused of crimes, including sex offenses.

Sex Offender Registration Requirements

How do I know if I have to register as a sex offender? This is one of the first questions any individual charged with a sex offense will ask, but the answer requires a thorough knowledge of the complexities of both state and federal registration laws and will depend on the specific facts of your case. The majority of sex-related offenses require registration as a sex offender – for life. This will dictate where you can live and work, and your information will be public, available to anyone looking for registered sex offenders in your area.

The severe consequences of sex offender registration make it all the more important to involve a St. Louis sex crime attorney who can protect your interests.
