Sex Crimes Defense - Criminal Defense Lawyers Denver, CO - Newell and Decker
The consequences of being charged with any crime involving unlawful sexual activity are very serious. In recent years, Colorado has significantly changed sexual crime laws, increased their penalties, and expedited the timeline for filing of these cases. Police and investigative agencies have simultaneously increased the frequency, scope and proactive methods utilized to investigate and bring these charges. Convictions in this area of law can result in a lifetime prison sentence or lifetime sex offender intensively supervised by probation under Colorado’s “indeterminate to life” sentencing structure. Even a misdemeanor conviction can require registration with local police as a “sex offender” or restrictions from public areas where children may be present. Other consequences of a sex charge can be forced removal from family, no contact with a spouse or children, and employment restrictions. Even crimes not involving sexual conduct such as internet-related charges and charges involving graphic images can result in career-ending, life-changing results.
