Sex Offense Lawyers

Illinois law recognizes a number of different sex offenses. Illinois sex offenses include, but are not limited to, criminal sexual abuse, the indecent solicitation of a child, public indecency, sexual abuse, sexual assault, prostitution, obscenity, and child pornography. A sex offense may be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the sex offense charged. Even the allegation that a person has committed a sex offense can have serious and lasting consequences on a person’s personal life and professional life. A conviction for a sex offense may result in extensive imprisonment and/or probation. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, Illinois law may require a person convicted of a sex offense to register as a sex offender and to comply with reporting requirements. The failure to comply with these extensive reporting requirements may result in additional criminal charges. A person charged with a sex offense should immediately seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
