What Are Sex Crimes?

Sex crimes encompass a wide range of offenses, each with specific legal definitions and potential penalties. Sexual assault occurs when a person engages in a sexual act without the other party's consent. Minors and individuals with intellectual disabilities are legally unable to consent, meaning that even if they appear to agree, the initiator is guilty of a sex crime. The most severe sex crime, rape, involves forced sexual penetration or occurs with a victim who legally cannot consent.


A conviction for a sex crime carries long-term consequences, including potential prison time, fines, probation, and lifetime registration on the North Carolina Sex Offender Registry. The registry often limits employment, housing, and travel options, and it can negatively impact personal relationships and overall quality of life. Additionally, a sex crime conviction can follow you on your criminal record indefinitely, making it critical to mount a strong defense from the outset.If you are innocent, it is crucial to seek a lawyer well-versed in defending against such charges.
