Understanding Texas Sex Crime Laws and Charges
- Rape - Rape is considered a violent crime that will be charged as a felony. If convicted, you could face maximum penalties, including life in prison. If you have been arrested for statutory rape or raping a minor, you need to contact a sex crime attorney immediately.
- Child Pornography- Possessing, distributing, viewing, or requesting and manufacturing child pornography is strictly forbidden by law. If arrested on child pornography charges, you could be penalized with life in prison and major fines.
- Child Abuse - Child sexual abuse is a form of molestation in which the alleged perpetrator acts in a manner or engages in sexual contact with a child to stimulate one's sexual desires. Those accused of this crime will face biased judgments from the public and possibly the jury.
- Internet Sex Crimes - Any type of internet crime, including sexual advancements, exchanging photos or sexually graphic material, child pornography, or asking for services (regardless of outcome), is considered a sex crime.
- Indecency with a Minor - Any type of sexual contact, interaction, or exposure with a child or minor under 17 can land a person with a charge of indecency with a child.
- Sexual Assault Defense - Any unwanted advancement or touching of a victim through force, fear, or incoherency is defined as sexual assault. This is an aggravated offense that is heavily prosecuted.
