Felony Sex Crimes

A felony conviction can cause other problems as well. Whether or not the accused goes to jail, he or she can be barred from working with children and vulnerable adults. Doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers and lawyers can lose their licenses. Corporations and other private employers also often have their own employment restrictions.

Registration as a sex offender is necessary under many circumstances, and registration requirements are usually lifetime requirements. Registration violations, including failure to notify of a change of address within 72 hours, carry a mandatory five-year jail sentence.
