FAQs About Sex Crimes
We'll be Your Resource At Every Step
-
Are plea agreements common in sex crimes cases?Yes, plea agreements are often negotiated in sex crime cases. These agreements may help reduce charges, lessen penalties, or avoid trial altogether, particularly in cases with circumstantial evidence or significant risks in court proceedings. For example, an individual initially charged with a serious felony might negotiate a plea to a lesser misdemeanor offense.
-
How does entrapment apply to online solicitation of minor cases?Entrapment occurs when law enforcement induces someone to commit a crime they wouldn’t have committed otherwise. For online solicitation of a minor, this defense may apply if officers initiated contact, used deceptive practices, or pressured the accused into illegal behavior. To claim entrapment, the defendant must prove they lacked criminal intent before police intervention. Our office can carefully analyze online communication logs and law enforcement behavior to assess entrapment.
-
What is the Texas Sex Offender Registry, and how does it work?The Texas Sex Offender Registry is a public database listing individuals convicted of certain sex crimes. Convicted offenders must regularly update their status, including their address, employment, and other details. Failure to comply can result in additional charges. Registry requirements vary based on the seriousness of the offense, and some people may face lifetime registration. Being on the registry has significant social and professional consequences, such as restrictions on where you can live or work.
-
What constitutes consent in a sexual assault case?
Consent means clear agreement to participate in a sexual act, communicated freely, and without coercion, force, or incapacitation. Texas law emphasizes that individuals cannot consent if they are unconscious, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or underage.
