Common Sex Crime Charges in California
Sex crime charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies, each carrying severe penalties. Common charges include:
- Child Sexual Abuse
- Rape and Statutory Rape
- Sexual Battery
- Indecent Exposure
- Possession of Child Pornography
- Solicitation and Prostitution
- Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
Misdemeanor Sex Crimes
Misdemeanor charges, such as indecent exposure or solicitation, may seem minor but can result in significant consequences, including lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Felony Sex Crimes
Felony charges, including rape, sexual battery, and lewd acts, carry harsher penalties such as long prison sentences and substantial fines.
Rape and Statutory Rape Explained
Rape involves non-consensual sexual penetration, often involving force, threats, or situations where the victim cannot consent.
Statutory Rape (PC 261.5) occurs when a person engages in sexual activity with someone under 18, regardless of consent. Depending on the age gap between the individuals, charges can escalate to a felony.
What to Do if Arrested for a Sex Crime
If you are arrested:
- Stay calm and cooperate physically with law enforcement.
- Do not answer questions without an attorney present.
- Exercise your right to remain silent until you consult legal counsel.
Bail for Sex Crimes Charges
Bail amounts for sex crimes vary depending on the severity of the charges. For example:
- Misdemeanors may have lower bail amounts that can be paid immediately after booking.
- Felonies often require higher bail amounts, and in some cases, bail may only be set after a court hearing.
Charges are often initially filed at the most severe level, which can result in higher bail amounts.
Posting Bail for Sex Crimes
If you can pay the full bail amount upfront, you can be released immediately. However, many individuals turn to bail bond services to cover the high cost of bail. A bail bond allows you to pay a fraction of the total bail amount (usually 10%), while the bond agency posts the rest.
