Sex Crimes in New York

There are various types of sex crimes one can commit. In most cases, sex crimes are considered felony offenses, though there are certain misdemeanor sex crimes as well. Whether you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor, however, you will most likely face very serious penalties. Some of the most common sex crime charges in New York State are as follows:

• Misdemeanor sex crime charges: These can include forcible touching, sexual assault in the third degree, sexual misconduct, and sexual abuse in the second degree.
• Felony sex crime charges: These can include sexual abuse in the first degree, child sexual abuse, predatory sexual assault, aggravated sexual abuse, and rape.

Consequences of Sex Crime Charges in New York State

If you are convicted of a sex crime, you will be subjected to several very significant penalties that will haunt you for years to come. This can include time in jail or prison, high fines, and having to register as a sex offender. Under the Sex Offender Registration Act, all sex offenders must register with the state registry. The registry shows the community (though sometimes just law enforcement) that you are a registered sex offender. There are three sex offender levels, and they are as follows:

• Level 1 Offenders: These sex offenders are generally considered low risk. Because of this, they will be placed on a private registry only viewable by law enforcement for 20 years.
• Level 2 Offenders: These are considered moderate-risk offenders. They will be placed on a public registry for life.
• Level 3 Offenders: These are high-risk sex offenders who will also have their names placed on a public registry for life.
