Most sexual offenses are felonies. This means they carry the potential prison sentence and a lifelong label of "convicted felon". In addition, some sexual offenses require you to register as a sex offender. Inclusion in the sex offender registry can limit your options of employment and even residency. You are forever under the watchful eye of the state once you are labeled a sex offender.
It's understandable that the state wishes to protect actual, alleged, and potential victims of sexual offenses. But when you are the accused offender, it leaves little room for protection of your rights. This is where a Maryland sex offenses lawyer comes in, advocating for your rights and the best results possible on your day in court.
