You’ll have to register as a sex offender if you are convicted, which will severely limit your ability to find employment and housing. If you are facing charges for a sex crime, you need to contact a Greenville sex crime lawyer from the Thomas J. Adducci Law Firm as soon as possible. We can help you reduce or dismiss charges, and we can help you seek damages if you have been falsely accused of a sex crime.
Sex Crime Penalties in South Carolina
Felony sex crimes are categorized into three types: first degree, second degree, and third degree. First-degree sex crimes are punishable with between 10 and 30 years in prison without probation or sentence suspension. Even third-degree sex crimes come with heavy penalties, such as possession of child pornography, which carries a minimum of 3 years in prison upon conviction.
Defending Against Sex Crime Allegations
If you’ve been charged, there’s still hope to protect your reputation and your future. There are many defenses that can be used to fight sex crime charges. For example, if you are accused of possession of sexual material featuring a minor, your lawyer could argue that you couldn’t reasonably know the subject was a minor. You could additionally weaken the prosecutor’s case by blocking any evidence that was illegally seized from your personal devices.
