Sexual Offense Charges - Impact

Sexual offenses can come with some of the most extreme and harshest penalties in criminal law. Many of the difficult sanctions begin prior to conviction. Just being charged with a sexual offense can lead to the loss of a career, loss of family and friends, and also the loss of many freedoms we all take for granted. If charged with a sexual offense, the bond amounts are higher than other crimes at the same level of felony or misdemeanor, and the bond conditions may include that you have no contact with minor children, limitations on where you can travel or places you can go in your own town, and prohibitions on internet use by phone or computer will also be put into place; there will be a Mandatory Protection Order put into place, which has sanctions on who you can have contact with, which may also include your own family members and persons under 18 years of age; and you will be placed on pretrial supervision which is quite invasive, as they will be reaching out to your work, and others you interact with. Just the act of charging a person can have a huge impact on your life, even before any conviction enters.
