Learn About California’s Sex Offender Registry Requirements
If you are convicted of a sex crime in California, you can expect to face time in jail or prison, strict probation requirements, pay fines, and more. Additionally, you might be required to register as a sex offender, depending on what you are found guilty of. If you do have to register as a sex offender, you will need to update your registration as long as you are in the state. This will also involve having your picture released to the public and your name and address included in a sex offender database. If you ever fail to register within a specific amount of time required, you can face additional charges.
A Sex Defense Lawyer in Costa Mesa CA Can Help You in Many Ways
There is no one-size-fits-all defense to these allegations. You need a Sex Defense Lawyer in Costa Mesa CA who will carefully evaluate the facts and devise a defense plan tailored to your specific case.
How can we provide this? Because we have been doing so for decades. We know the rules of evidence and we know how forensic analysis of DNA, hair, fibers, and other evidence can impact the case. We know how to challenge these and other types of evidence. We generally start by looking at the case to show that there is not enough evidence to convict you. If you have already been charged, we will work to convince the D.A. to drop the charges. If you have not yet been charged, we will work to prevent charges from ever being filed.
We can demonstrate the D.A. what the evidence truly indicates – and that it’s not what they believe it is – in instances when there is enough evidence to prosecute you. One such example is demonstrating that allegedly non-consenting sexual conduct was actually completely consensual.
Another goal can be to find the best possible plea deal we can get for you. We will try to reduce the consequences as much as possible – including attempts to have the charges reduced to no longer trigger the requirement to register as a sex offender.
