Chandler Child Molestation Lawyers

Sexual offenses are among the most severe crimes someone can be charged with, especially if the sexual offense involves children under the age of fifteen years old. According to A.R.S §13-1410 a person commits molestation of a child by intentionally or knowingly engaging in or causing a person to engage in sexual contact, except sexual contact with the female breast, with a child who is under fifteen years of age.

Child molestation is a Class 2 felony in Arizona and qualifies as a Dangerous Crimes Against Children offense. This means you could spend a decade or more in prison for a first-time offense if convicted. The penalties are much more severe for those who have been convicted of one or more predicate felonies. If the crime is designated as a dangerous crime against children, you will serve 100% of your prison time before you are eligible for release. Even after release, you will be required to register as a sex offender per ARS 13-3821.

In addition to the severe punishments, you will also have the stigma that is associated with being a convicted sexual offender. This will affect your ability to find employment or rent an apartment. You will not be allowed to come into contact with anyone under the age of 18, and many other restrictions.

As you can see, these are very serious offenses. If you have been charged with any type of sexual offense involving a minor, you should speak with a criminal defense attorney who has experience with these types of crimes immediately. You do not want to roll the dice on what could be several decades of your life.
