Another Kind of Prison: Sex Offender Registration
Conviction of a sex crime can mean a lifetime of punishment—punishment that doesn't end when the prison sentence has been served. Even a relatively minor sex offense can result in years as a registered sex offender or being put on lifetime supervision. At the Law Offices of Robert M. Draskovich, we want every person accused of a sex crime to understand the long-term consequences of being labeled as a registered sex offender, and/or being placed on lifetime supervision.

Lawyers inexperienced with sex crime defense may advise pleading to a minor sex offense charge to get past an embarrassing situation. That can be an enormous mistake because of the requirement to be a registered sex offender or being sentenced to lifetime supervision. Talk to an experienced sex crimes defense attorney about what sex offender registration can mean to your life.
- Time limits—10 or 15 years, for example—are often imposed for sex offender registration. You may eventually be free of the need to stand in line once a year to register.
- If you are sentenced to lifetime supervision, however, you will be subject to visits from a probation officer for the rest of your life. Depending upon the time, however, you may not be subject to lifetime supervision.
- Sex offender registration can mean community notification, an inability to live in certain areas of a city, or an inability to take certain jobs.
- Lifetime supervision could subject you to a long list of conditions that could result in a future arrest.
