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.

  • “Erica is very easy to talk to and explained everything.”
    Like most folks, I am not up on lawyer talk and/or the big words you see on certain documents. Erica is very easy to talk to and explained everything. She took the time to make us feel comfortable during our misfortune. Erica's hard work is true and her kindness is genuine - she took time with us and we were not just another client to bill. In our uncertain world these days, Erica is a breath of fresh air! Should we ever need legal aid again, we will call on her again!

  • “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!!
