Types of Sex Crimes in California

California law is very severe when it comes to punishment for sex crimes.

California Penal Code § 261-294 list each of the following, among others, as a sex crime:

What are the Penalties for Sex Crimes?

Penalties for such crimes vary and can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. For example, indecent exposure (Pen. Code § 314) is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months of imprisonment and a fine of up to $1,000 (Pen. Code Section 19). Rape of a child, on the other hand, is a felony punishable by 15 years to life (Pen. Code § 269(b)).

What is a Level 1 Sex Offender in California?

In California, a Level 1 sex offender is someone convicted of a relatively minor sex crime, such as most misdemeanors and some non-violent felonies. Level 1 offenders must register as sex offenders with their local law enforcement agency for a minimum of 10 years or five years for minors. 

Sex Offender Registry

After being charged with a sex crime, you could be faced with years or even decades in prison and have to register as a sex offender for life. The sex offender registry is online database that has your name, age, distinguishing characteristics and details about the crime that you were convicted of. You’ll be restricted regarding where you can live and work, and employers will be hesitant to hire you. A false conviction could turn your life upside down.
