STAY OFF SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY

Michigan Sex Offense Attorney

The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) requires that those convicted of most sex offenses register as a sex offender. Even those charged with a sex crime, who are convicted of a lesser crime, can face sex offender registration at the judge’s discretion, depending on the circumstances of the case. This penalty is issued on top of fines and incarceration, and the impact is life-changing and often more damaging to people than other penalties.

Sex offender registration can last up to 25 years or even life in some circumstances. This is true even for juveniles, although their registration has remained private until they turn 18, there are NEW LAWS that have changed the registration requirements. Registration for those convicted of sex crimes is required four times a year, and failure to register is a separate felony charge that can serve to make matters even worse.

Registered sex offenders find that it is nearly impossible to find jobs at all, let alone jobs that pay well in a chosen profession. Housing also becomes an issue, as there are restrictions about where a registered sex offender can live in relation to schools and parks, which are everywhere. Even those who do find a place are often chased out of the community.

A lawyer must understand the impact of sex offender registration. It must be fought aggressively. Our law firm has the experience to fight to keep you from being convicted of a sex crime that demands registration.

What Determines If A Sex Crime Will Be Charged At A Felony Level Versus Misdemeanor In Michigan?

In Michigan, there are many different types of sex crimes, which we organize into four different degrees of criminal sexual conduct (CSC): 1st Degree, 2nd Degree, 3rd Degree, and 4th Degree. Technically, they are all felonies, though 4th Degree is listed as a low felony or high court misdemeanor, punishable by up to 2 years in prison. Each degree can be registerable, meaning you have to register as a sex offender depending on what state you’re in. In Michigan, the registration requirement can last for 25 years or life based on the CSC degree that you’re convicted of.
