The sex crimes listed below include the most common sexual accusations. Rape Usually defined as sexual penetration without consent. A charge of rape is a felony offense and is an extremely serious charge. A conviction on this charge often carries penalties including jail or prison time, counseling, community service, parole, and lifetime registration as a sexual offender. Sex With A Minor Sexual acts with a minor under the age of 18. Even if the minor gives consent it is considered a form of rape because by legal definition, a minor is unable to give consent. Sexual Assault This includes any unwanted physical contact with a sexual organ. The contact is considered unwanted if the victim did not consent, was incapable of consenting, or rejected the contact. Date Rape Non-consensual sex acts between people who know each other, usually in a social engagement. Although the two are acquainted and the engagement or date was agreed to by both, this is not considered a defense against the charge. Sexual Harassment Generally, any unwanted sexual behavior. These charges can come from unwanted physical contact, propositions, communication, or sexual comments. Indecent Exposure Also covers lewd conduct, these charges cover public sexual acts or public exposure of the genitals. Solicitation of Prostitution Usually charged as a misdemeanor, these charges involve the exchange of money for sexual acts or asking for sex acts in exchange for money. Punishment may include fines, community service, jail, and may result in loss of employment if your job requires a license or security clearance. Molestation Any act performed for sexual gratification that does not include penetration. Generally reserved for children, these charges can destroy lives and is considered a felony with severe legal and social punishments. Child Sexual Abuse In most states, three or more instances of child molestation is considered child abuse. Touching is not required. Child Pornography Distributing or exhibiting pornographic depictions of children under the age of 18. This is considered a felony. Failure to Register Those convicted of any sexual offense may be required under Megan's Law to register as a sex offender. Failure to do so is a crime that is equal to the original charge (i.e. Considered a felony offense if convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor if convicted of a misdemeanor).
