Sex Offenses in Florida
Depending on the situation, an individual may be charged with a variety of sex offenses. Florida State law considers an individual to be a sex offender when the person is convicted of committing, soliciting, or attempting criminal offenses of a sexual nature. Regardless of the situation, any sex crime charge requires the help of an experienced attorney with specific knowledge in this area of criminal law.
We provide a vigorous defense for people charged with:
- Unlawful sexual activity with minors
- Lewd or lascivious molestation
- Lewd or lascivious exhibition
- Lewd or lascivious behavior
- Lewd or lascivious conduct
- Sexual battery
- Rape
Florida law considers lewd and lascivious conduct to be intentionally touching a person under the age of 16 or soliciting an underage person to commit a lewd and lascivious act. Ignorance of the age of the victim cannot be used as a defense. The penalties for a conviction may include a lengthy prison sentence, exorbitant fines, probation, and sex offender registration.
Serious Penalties for a Conviction
A conviction of a sex crime carries severe penalties. The specific crime and age of the victim impact the sentence. Any arrest or conviction can damage your reputation, erode the trust of those closest to you, as well as result in a prison sentence and being listed as a sex offender.
