The term "sex crimes" is an umbrella term encompassing all sorts of illicit sexual behavior. It includes indecent exposure, streaking, urinating in public, sexual assault, rape, molestation, internet sex crimes, pimping, prostitution, statutory rape, possession of child pornography and more. If you are convicted, you are facing incarceration, fines, probation or parole and a permanent mark on your criminal record. A criminal record will impact your ability to gain employment, housing, and educational loans, therefore the "stigma" of being a sex offender can ruin your livelihood.
