Employing Risk Assessment Tests in Defense Strategies

Psychological testing plays a significant role in many sex crime cases. Our objective is to demonstrate to the judge or jury that you are an improbable perpetrator or unlikely to re-offend. To achieve this, we collaborate with doctors and psychiatrists who conduct thorough evaluations and develop treatment plans to present in court. Participating in a risk assessment test does not imply any wrongdoing; rather, it aids us in building a strong defense.

Understanding Sex Offender Registration Requirements in Arizona

If you are convicted of a sexual offense in Arizona, there is a high likelihood that you will be obligated to register as a sex offender. Crimes such as sexual abuse, child molestation, and sexual exploitation of a minor mandate mandatory sex offender registration. Upon release from prison, you will receive a "risk level" designation, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 3 (highest).

Depending on your risk level, various parties may be notified of your sex offender status, including:

• Level 1 Offender: Law enforcement agencies only
• Level 2 Offender: Community organizations involved with children
• Level 3 Offender: All the above, plus your neighbors

After being released from custody, you have ten days to register with the county sheriff. If you plan to relocate, local authorities must be informed. If you stay in Arizona for ten days or longer, you must register within the state. Level 3 sex offenders are also prohibited from residing within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare center.

These are only a few examples of the potential consequences that sex offender registration can have on your life.
