What are Sex Crimes?
Sex crimes refer to human sexual acts that are crimes. Violators of sex crimes are referred to as a sex offender. Sex crimes are a mix of crimes incorporating violence as well, social taboos such as incest, sodomy, indecent exposure, exhibitionism, or sexual interaction with a child, and other sexual acts that are carried out without the consent of the partner.

It should be noted that rape occurs anytime someone forces another person into a sexual act or if the person could not physically give consent at that time due to intoxication, indent theft, or other similar situations. If you find yourself in this situation wrongfully, have David Boertje get you the right representation. Many cases of rape of dismissed due to falsified claim of lack of consent or even mistaken identity.

Child Sexual Abuse
There are several laws against any sexual interaction with a child. A person is considered a child when they are below the legal age of consent, and even if they give consent, it can still be considered molestation. Depending on the circumstances, violation of child abuse can result in anything from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Child-related sex crimes are one of the most common offenses to have a prison sentence. You can also be registered as a life-long sex offender. Moreover, the incident can prove to be traumatic for the child as well. Sexual Abuse Response Team and Child Protective Services run several tests and exams on the child.

These tests can result in falsified court documents and can lead to you being wrongfully accused. If the state of California has wrongfully accused you of sex crimes, please contact David Boertje to fulfill your lawyer needs.
