Queens, NY Sexual Offense Attorney
According to the Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM), approximately one in ten New York state prisoners were convicted of sexual offenses. While this represents a 7 percent increase in sexual offense convictions since 1980, what’s more shocking is the fact that 60 percent of convicted sex offenders are under some type of conditional community supervision.
Sexual offense charges are not only serious criminal charges, but they can also be humiliating as the details of the accused individual’s personal life are exposed, debated and judged. Sexual offense convictions often result in the following penalties:
- prison time
- community supervision
- special education classes
- permanent marks on his/her criminal record
If you or a loved one has been charged with a sexual offense, it’s essential that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows how to handle these specific types of cases. Victor Knapp is a discreet and professional lawyer with extensive experience in Queens, NY criminal cases, including an array of sexual offense charges.
Types of Sexual Offense Charges
Charges for sexual crimes may include:
- child abuse
- child pornography
- incest

- sexual assault
In some cases, mooning, streaking and public urination may also elicit sexual offense charges. For repeat offenders, the term sexual predator may be used. In most cases, convicted sexual offenders will have to register with the New York police, informing the authorities of where they are living. Currently, the New York State Police (NYSP) have an , easy-to-use online sex offender search tool that allows anyone to see where convicts are living, as well as the specific charges they have been convicted of.
Those who are convicted on more serious charges may have to register with the authorities for life while individuals convicted of lesser offenses will likely only have to register for a limited period of time.
