A Defense Against Sex Crime Convictions
Few crimes have punishments that are more severe than those associated with sex crimes. When a person is arrested for rape or sexual abuse, the consequences are more widespread than just jail time and fines. If convicted, a person could be forced to register as a sex offender and may be on community supervision for life. If the alleged perpetrator is here as an immigrant, he or she may also face deportation.
With so much at stake, it is important to work with a Trenton rape defense attorney who can protect your rights and your freedom. When you contact Fridie Law Group L.L.C., that is exactly what you will find.
Consequences for Sex Crimes
Most people are familiar with the stigma associated with landing a spot on the sex offender registry list. However, many people are not familiar with community supervision for life, which is worse than the sex offender registry in many ways.
If you are placed on community supervision for life, you will be on probation for the rest of your life. Your name is placed in a database that regulates numerous areas of your life. Being on the list prevents you from participating in activities with children, prevents you from living near schools and restricts the other neighborhoods you can live in based on the number of kids living nearby.
In addition to community supervision for life, you could also face civil commitment. If you are convicted of rape or other violent sexual crimes, you face civil commitment in addition to any other penalties. With civil commitment, you are held in a facility in which you cannot come and go as you please.
