Frequently Asked Questions About Sex Crimes

Q

Are All Sex Crimes Felonies?

Most, but not all, sex crimes are charged as felonies in Maryland. The prosecutor may sometimes decide whether you will be charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime. Although neither option is good for you, the punishments for a misdemeanor charge are not as severe as for a felony. Your attorney may be able to convince prosecutors to pursue lesser charges to minimize the potential repercussions.

Q

What Restrictions Would I Face With the Sex Offender Registry?

If you are required to register as a sex offender following a conviction, you will remain on the registry for at least 15 years. You would be prohibited from being around children, which could affect your relationship with your own children. You would have to be monitored, including your email and social media interactions, and even if you move out of state, you would transfer to your new state's registry. If you fail to adhere to the regulations, you could be arrested.
