Molestation

Sexual Offenses

Molestation is one of the most serious-and stigmatized-crimes in the United States. Because molestation is considered such a terrible offense, it is punished harshly-with consequences often including lengthy prison sentences and mandatory sex offender registration. Furthermore, prosecutors and other law enforcement officials face significant pressure to secure a conviction in sex crime cases, particularly those involving minors under the age of 18.

If you have been charged with molestation, it is vital that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Please contact Jacoby & Meyers Criminal Defense today for a no-cost consultation with an aggressive and effective criminal defense attorney who can evaluate your case and help you devise a solid defense strategy.

Sex Offenses & Their Penalties

Molestation is a term that refers to sex crimes committed against individuals 18 and younger and encompasses a variety of offenses including, but not limited to:

Sexual abuse, assault, and/or exploitation
Statutory rape
Indecent exposure
Incest
Child prostitution and/or pornography
Lewd and lascivious conduct

The penalties associated with a molestation conviction depend on numerous circumstances such as the specific nature of the crime, previous convictions, and probation or parole status. Generally, however, individuals who are convicted of molestation face serious consequences including imprisonment, heavy fines, sex offender registration, and more. They also often suffer extensive damage to their professional and personal lives. In many cases, those convicted of molestation experience difficulties securing employment and even finding a place to live.
