Consequences of Sex Crime Convictions in Superior
Those who are charged with and found guilty of any type of sex crime face serious implications in all facets of their life. Each sex crime charge has a different potential outcome, dependent on the facts of the case and how well the prosecutor can prove them.
However, consider the following potential prison time sentences convictions can lead to:
- Rape and sexual assault: 5 to 14 years in prison
- Child molestation: 10 to 24 years of jail time
- Prostitution: 15 to 180 days in jail
- Child pornography charges: 10 to 24 years in jail
- Molestation of a child under the age of 12: 35 years to life in prison
In addition to these consequences, you may also have fines and restitution to pay. You will have a criminal record, which can impact your ability to get or maintain a job.

Sex Offender Registration in Arizona
Those who are convicted of any of these or other sex crimes must be registered on the state’s sexual offender list and maintain constant communication with their parole officer.
If you are convicted and serve time for your sex crime charges, the court will then assign a risk level to your case based on the threat you represent.
The lowest rating is one, and the highest is three. From there, various organizations will be notified of your sexual offender registry, including the following:
- Law enforcement agencies: Level 1 and higher
- Law enforcement and community organizations that involve children: Level 2 or higher
- All parties, including your neighbors: Level 3 offender
Your Superior sex crime lawyer will work to mitigate this risk by proving you are innocent to the fullest level possible. If we cannot prove you to be innocent, reducing the severity of the risk you represent to the community may also be a strategy to protect your future.

Potential Defense Strategies for Sex Crimes
Each situation deserves personalized attention and comparison of various defense strategies to find the best possible route forward.
Defense strategies must always be very specific to the evidence available or not available and the intricate nuances of your case. Some of the potential defense strategies we may use include:
- Demonstrating you could not have been there due to an alibi
- Questioning the accuser’s credibility in making the claim
- Demonstrating mistaken identity
- Demonstrating false allegations
- Providing evidence in text messages or statements from others
- Collecting evidence that disproves the statements the other party is making
In many situations, our goal will be to prove you are innocent, therefore helping you to get back to your life without the charges on your record.
At the same time, that does not always work, and there are situations where the evidence against you may be significant. In those cases, we encourage you to speak to us about a plea agreement, if applicable in your situation.
