What are Sex Crimes?

Sex crime in Arizona is defined as: A person commits sexual assault by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual
contact with any person without the consent of such person.

Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 13-1401 (definitions, factors), 13-1406 (sexual assault), 13-702–706, 13-1423 (violent
sexual assault).

In Arizona, a sexual crime is any criminal offense that involves sexual conduct or behavior:

• Sexual assault or rape
• Sexual abuse or molestation
• Indecent exposure or public sexual indecency
• Child pornography or exploitation
• Sexual conduct with a minor
• Prostitution or solicitation

• Sexual misconduct with a prisoner or patient
• Sexual harassment or stalking

What is the punishment for sex crimes?

When someone commits a sex crime, they can face serious consequences in Phoenix, Arizona. The punishment they receive will depend on the type of sex crime they committed, how severe it was, and whether they have done it before. Sometimes, people who commit sex crimes have to go to jail for a long time, even longer than people who commit other kinds of crimes. The severity of the punishment for a sex crime in Arizona varies depending on the nature and severity of the offense, as well as the defendant’s criminal history. Call today Phoenix sex crime attorney David Cantor at (602) 307-0808.

In addition to prison time and fines, sex offenders may also be required to register with the Arizona sex offender registry and comply with other restrictions and requirements even after their release from prison. This list is public, which means that anyone can look it up online or ask the police for information about who is on the list. Being on the sex offender registry can make it hard for people to find a job or a place to live, and they may have to tell their neighbors and coworkers that they are on the list.

Sometimes, people who commit sex crimes have to go to counseling or therapy to help them understand why what they did was wrong and to learn how to behave differently in the future. This is called treatment or rehabilitation. Some people may also have to wear an electronic monitoring device or take medicine to stop them from being attracted to children. The goal of these punishments is to keep people safe and to make sure that the person who committed the crime does not do it again.
