Sex Crime
Few things are as devastating as being labeled a “sex offender.” Such a conviction carries registration requirements, public stigma, and alienation from the community. This is in addition to having a permanent criminal record and being disqualified from many forms of employment. If you have been arrested, or are being investigated, in regards to a sexual offense then it is crucial that you immediately seek legal representation. Our Chicago criminal defense attorney handles sex crimes throughout Cook County. Contact our Orland Park office today to speak with a lawyer.
Those who commit sexual related crimes in Illinois may face a Class 1 felony as well as federal criminal charges. One convicted of such offenses will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life, to keep their distance from schools, and will be listed in databases which are publicly accessible. It goes without saying that such consequences can have an impact on where you live, where you will be able to work, as well as several other important factors in your life. Contacting an attorney immediately is crucial for one facing such offenses.
