Birmingham Sex Crimes attorney
Defending Clients Who Are Facing Sex Crime Charges in Shelby County, AL
Sex crimes in Alabama are a very serious matter, and punishment for those convicted is severe. Some charges, such as first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy, are considered Class A felonies punishable by a minimum of 10 years in prison. Misdemeanors such as second-degree sexual assault can mean up to a year in prison and a $6,000 fine. In addition, all those convicted are required to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life. This combination can have a devastating effect on your employment, living situation, and social relationships.
