Colorado Sex Crime Lawyers

Some of the most serious criminal charges in Colorado are related to sex crimes and you should not attempt to face these charges alone. Many sex crimes are considered felonies, and can carry with them extensive prison sentences, treatment, and supervision. In some cases, an offender can be sentenced to life in prison or lifetime supervision. Even lesser misdemeanor crimes that do not impose prison sentences have serious consequences, including extensive treatment and supervision.

In addition to incarceration, treatment, and supervision, conviction of any sex crime results in having to register as a sex offender. There are many difficulties that come with being a registered sex offender. Registered sex offenders often struggle to gain employment, find housing, and maintain personal relationships with friends and family. Moreover, the damage to a registered sex offender's reputation can be severe.

What Is Considered a Sex Crime?

The broad category of "sex crimes" includes:

• Unlawful sexual contact
• Sexual assault
• Sexual assault on a child
• Child pornography
• Indecent exposure
• Sexual exploitation
• Public indecency

Further, other criminal charges where there is an underlying factual basis involving a sex offense may be considered sex crimes (for example, if the court found there was a factual basis to support a charge of sexual assault, but the defendant pled to a lesser, nonsexual offense).
