Glen Burnie Sex Crime Attorney
Rape, Sexual Abuse, Child Pornography and Other Sex Offenses in Glen Burnie
Maryland state law provides stiff penalties for anyone convicted of a sex crime. Your charges may be at the misdemeanor or felony level, depending on several factors, such as the severity of the crime, the age of the alleged victim and whether you have previously been convicted of a crime. Punishments commonly include a term of months or years in county jail or state prison. In most cases the defendant will be forced to provide their information to the Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services for inclusion in the Maryland Sex Offender Registry. Anyone, from your neighbors to your employer, can search by name or address to see specific details of your conviction, along with a recent photograph to identify you.
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you should meet with an experienced Glen Burnie criminal defense attorney with no delay to get started on a plan of action for clearing your name. It may be possible to prove your innocence or have the charges against you dropped, based on a lack of reliable testimony or evidence. Even if the best possible outcome is to have the charges reduced, it is vital to avoid the negative consequences of a conviction, which could affect your life for years to come.
