Common Types of Sex Crimes in Texas

Sex crimes encompass a broad range of offenses that involve non-consensual sexual acts or illegal sexual conduct. In the state of Texas, some of the most common types of sex crimes include:

Sexual Assault: Sexual assault involves sexual activity without the other person's consent. This crime can vary in severity and may involve physical force, threats, or coercion.
Aggravated Sexual Assault: This offense is an enhanced form of sexual assault and typically involves using a deadly weapon or results in serious bodily injury to the victim.
Indecency with a Child: Indecency with a child refers to any sexual contact or exposure to a minor under 17, regardless of consent.
Child Pornography: The creation, possession, distribution, or promotion of sexually explicit materials involving minors is considered child pornography, a serious offense in Texas.
Prostitution and Solicitation: Engaging in or soliciting sexual acts in exchange for money or other goods is illegal in Texas.
Online Solicitation of a Minor: Using electronic communication to solicit or entice a minor for sexual purposes is a significant offense.

What are the Penalties for Sex Crimes in Texas?

The penalties for sex crimes in Texas are severe and can have a lifelong impact on the accused. Depending on the nature and severity of the offense, consequences may include:

Imprisonment: Conviction of a sex crime can lead to lengthy prison sentences, ranging from several years to life in prison, especially for aggravated offenses.
Fines: Sex crime convictions may result in substantial penalties, adding financial strain to a challenging situation.
Sex Offender Registration: Convicted individuals may be required to register as sex offenders, significantly affecting their personal and professional life.
Probation: Some sex crime offenders may receive probation, often requiring strict conditions and supervision.
Criminal Record: A sex crime conviction will stay on the offender's criminal record, making it difficult to secure housing, employment, or education opportunities.

Defenses Against Sex Crimes

Facing sex crime charges can be overwhelming, but it's essential to remember that everyone has the right to a strong defense. Our Corsicana sex crime attorneys will explore all possible defenses tailored to your unique circumstances. Some common defenses against sex crimes include:

Consent: If the encounter was consensual and there was no force, threats, or coercion involved, we will work to establish this fact.
False Accusations: Sometimes, individuals may be wrongfully accused due to misunderstandings, revenge, or other motives. We will diligently investigate the truth behind the allegations.
Lack of Evidence: We will scrutinize the prosecution's evidence and challenge any weak or unreliable information.
Violation of Rights: If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the investigation or arrest, we may be able to have evidence suppressed.
Alibi: If you have a strong alibi that proves you were not present at the alleged time and place, we will use it to support your defense.
