Sex Crimes in California are those acts that involve illegal or coerced sexual activity. Sex crimes carry with them a social stigma that can be difficult to live with. More tangible punishments include jail time, registration as a sex offender and heavy fines, and physical evidence need not always be present to accuse someone of a sex crime.
Types Of Sex Crimes
Rape & Statutory Rape
- Rape: sexual intercourse that is forced upon another person without prior consent
- Statutory Rape: sexual intercourse in which consent is given, yet takes place between a person of legal age (18 years of age) and a person who is younger than legal age
Sexual Battery & Lewd Acts
- Sexual Battery: inappropriate touching of a person against that person’s will or without that person’s consent
- Lewd Acts: acts which are crude and offensive in a sexual way, where moral principles are abandoned in exchange for some sort of deviant, sexual gratification (includes Indecent Exposure, Prostitution, Sexual Battery, etc.)
Prostitution & Solicitation
- Prostitution: sexual favors granted in exchange for monetary payment or other benefits
- Solicitation: to approach someone and offer that person services of a sexual nature in exchange for payment
Sex Crimes vary in terms of severity and punishment. Sex Crimes such as Rape and Lewd Acts with a Minor carry with them harsh penalties, whereas Sex Crimes such as Statutory Rape and Indecent Exposure often times lack physical abuse and are considered lesser in severity in terms of penalty and/or monetary fine.

Potential Consequences of Being Accused of a Sex Crime
California Sex Crimes can have serious effects on a person’s lifestyle. If convicted of a Sex Crime, or possibly even just accused of one, a person may find it difficult to find a job or a new place to live. Employers are less likely to hire those who are guilty of Sex Crimes. If one who is convicted of a Sex Crime is required to register as a Sex Offender, then that person is forever branded as a sexual deviant. Registry as a Sex Offender can make living comfortably in certain neighborhoods very difficult, and may result in threats of violence against the accused or even vigilante-type crimes of retaliation and/or revenge.

I WAS ACCUSED OF Rape of a child under 12 years of age, sodomy of a child less than 12 years of age and indecent acts with a child under 12 years of age. I faced a maximum of life imprisonment if convicted of these crimes. I was referred to the law firm of Wallin & Klarich, a firm I was told had tremendous experience defending against child molests cases. I was given a Wallin & Klarich attorney who was familiar with my jurisdiction. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively to present my case in the best light to the court and negotiate with my prosecutor. My Wallin & Klarich attorney filed 8 evidentiary motions in order to put my case in the best possible position when the case went in front of the jury. While the jury was deliberating the prosecutor mentioned to my attorney that upon conviction he would request 28 years in prison. However, after a little more then an hour of deliberating the jury came back not guilty on all counts. I walked out of the courtroom a free man and back to my family and job. Were it not for the attorney of Wallin & Klarich my life would have been ruined. As a result I enthusiastically recommend them for any child molests or criminal matters.

I was charged with 10 counts of Penal Code Section 288(a) for lewd and lascivious acts upon two children under the age of 14 years; I was also charged with 6 counts of Penal Code section 288.5 for continual sexual abuse of two children under the age of 14 years. Because of the nature of these crimes I was facing 56 years in prison.
I was referred to the law offices of Wallin & Klarich whom I was told are highly experienced in cases where child abuse in alleged; in addition, Wallin & Klarich places particular attorneys in each court so that they become familiar with the court personnel to included the District Attorney and the Judges. My Wallin & Klarich attorney was very familiar with the court my case was in and as a result had a good relationship with the District Attorneys in that court. My Wallin & Klarich attorney negotiated my case with the District Attorney pointing out the shortcomings in their case with the end result that All Charges Were Dismissed in a relatively short period of time after I hired them. This results allowed me to get my life back together and ended an enormous amount of stress. As such I would enthusiastically recommend Wallin & Klarich for any criminal matter.
