Chino Sex Crimes Lawyer

Life as a Registered Offender

Did you know that if you plead guilty or are found guilty of most sex crimes, aside from the severe penalties involving state prison or jail time, you may have to spend the rest of your life registering as a sex offender? Under California law, once you have been convicted of most sex crimes, you will have to register your name, offense, address and any distinguishing characteristics about yourself to a public website as well as register with a local police or sheriff's department. Failure to do so can result in jail sentencing, fines, and probation.

The list of California crimes that can lead to the California sex offender registration requirement is long. But some of the most common sex crimes on the list include:

The list of California crimes that can lead to the California sex offender registration requirement is long. But some of the most common sex crimes on the list include:

  • Most violations of California rape law under the California Penal Codes’ 261 sections,
  • Penal Code 243.4 PC sexual battery,
  • Most sex crimes involving minors, such as lewd acts with a child under Penal Code 288 PC, California child pornography crimes, and aggravated and/or continuous sexual abuse of a child under Penal Codes 288.5 and 269,
  • Forced non-intercourse sex acts such as oral copulation by force or fear or Penal Code 289 forcible penetration with a foreign object,
  • Violations of California “indecent exposure” law, and
  • Human trafficking for prostitution-related purposes or for child pornography purposes.

California judges may also require a criminal defendant to register as a sex offender if he or she is convicted of an offense that is not on that list—if the judge concludes he or she committed the crime as a result of sexual compulsion or for sexual gratification.

  • “I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney!”
    This review is for Erica at Madrid Law Firm. Without getting too into my DUI case, I had a special circumstance conviction. She was able to get me the best possible deal from the DA. I truly believe that! Felony dropped to a misdemeanor, bail amount decreased. She was very informative and responded in a timely matter. It was never difficult to reach her and she took the time to explain all my questions. I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney! She knows what she is doing, took care of all the DMV matters for me. I highly recommend her, very trustworthy!!

  • “You always made sure I was protected and secure.”
    It is unfortunate that we had to meet under the circumstances that we did, however, I am very privileged to have met you and your daughter, Erica Madrid. During the time you were my attorney, you and your daughter always treated me with the most respect. You ALWAYS listened and paid attention to all the details of my case. The matter in which you treated me and my case is just amazingly great, I felt as if I was the most important client you had. You always made sure I was protected and secure. These past three months have been the longest three months of my life. I just could not move on with my life, it was as if my life was put on hold! Every court appointment that we had, you ALWAYS represented me with the most professionalism, which says a lot of your law firm. My preliminary hearing date came up and I was very nervous, scared, and I just was not myself. The entire preliminary hearing was very intense, however, I always felt so confident in my attorney representing me. After a long hour and a half, it came time for the judge to make a decision, and when the judge said "case dismissed," I could not hold back the tears and the emotions going through my mind and body, I felt so much joy! Right away, I was thanking The Lord for the blessing of continuing on with my life. I was able to breathe without feeling afraid. There are no words to express to you and your team how thankful I am for all the hard work that was put in into my case. Thank you for fighting for me, my life, and my family! God Bless you, your family, and your law firm. May you continue to service others like the way you and your law firm did for me.

  • “She is passionate, dedicated, professional and very thorough. She responded to all my calls/emails/texts and explained everything to me in the language that I can understand.”
    Excellent Work on my behalf. Unfortunately I found myself in a tough legal matter but Erica made the best of my situation. My Charges were significantly reduced with her assistance and I only had to visit the courthouse once. She is passionate, dedicated, professional and very thorough. She responded to all my calls/emails/texts and explained everything to me in the language that I can understand. I am glad to recommend her services. This is what I would consider the money well spent.
