Understanding the Seriousness of Sex Crime Charges
A sex crime charge doesn’t just threaten your freedom—it can impact your job, your relationships, your reputation, and your future. If you are convicted of a sex crime, you could face years in prison, steep fines, and mandatory sex offender registration. That kind of label doesn’t go away—it follows you, affecting where you can live and work for the rest of your life.
However, you’re innocent until proven guilty, no matter what the public thinks. We understand how isolating this can feel, but you don’t have to go through it alone. With the right defense team in your corner, you can push back, protect your name, and fight for a better outcome.
Common Sex Crimes Charges in Lakewood
For more than 25 years, our criminal defense law firm has helped individuals across California through some of the most serious criminal accusations—sex crime charges. Below are some of the most common charges we see and defend against:
- Sexual Assault (Penal Code § 261)
- Indecent Exposure (Penal Code § 314)
- Statutory Rape (Penal Code § 261.5)
- Lewd Acts with a Minor (Penal Code § 288)

- Online Solicitation of a Minor
- Sexual Battery (Penal Code § 243.4)
- Failure to Register as a Sex Offender (Penal Code § 290)
- Sexting or Sharing Explicit Images of Minors
- Sex trafficking
Sex crime charges are among the most serious and stigmatized in California. But it’s important to remember that an accusation is not a conviction. The law requires the prosecution to prove every element of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt—including whether consent was given, whether intent was present, or whether a law was clearly broken. Many cases begin with a misunderstanding, a false accusation, or actions that were never intended to cause harm. A strong defense often comes down to carefully examining the facts, context, and motivations behind the accusation.
Whatever charges you may face, our California criminal defense team’s extensive knowledge of sex crime laws helps us design custom defense strategies to protect your rights – and your future.
Will I Have to Register as a Sex Offender for My Life?
One of the most overwhelming aspects of being accused or convicted of a sex crime is the fear of lifelong sex offender registration. The good news is that California’s sex offender registry now operates under a tiered system, which offers a clearer path for many individuals to avoid lifelong registration.
How Does California’s Tiered Sex Offender Registry Work?
Under California law, sex offenders are categorized into one of three tiers, and each tier corresponds to a specific registration period. Here’s a breakdown of how the system works:
- Tier 1 (10-Year Registration): This tier applies to lower-level offenses such as misdemeanor indecent exposure or certain non-violent, non-contact felonies. Individuals in this category must register for at least 10 years before they may be eligible to petition for removal.
- Tier 2 (20-Year Registration): Mid-level offenses, including certain felony sexual battery charges, fall under this category. Those in Tier 2 are required to register for at least 20 years before they can petition for removal.
- Tier 3 (Lifetime Registration): Reserved for the most serious offenses—such as violent sex crimes or repeat offenses—Tier 3 generally requires lifetime registration. In some cases, individuals may still explore legal options for relief, depending on the specifics of their case.
