Sex-related crimes are one of the most heinous and emotional crimes and the legal proceedings related to them are even more complicated. Sex crimes almost always make headlines in the news. Evidence to show the seriousness of the matter and the effect it has on people. If someone has been charged of such a crime, it is common for the public to overlook their rights. But in spite of the damage they cause to their victims and the impact they have on society as a whole, they still have rights to uphold in a court of law.

The kind of society we live in a myriad of criminal activities are rampant. Sex-related crimes are one of them. Crimes like child abuse, date rape, child pornography, child enticement, indecent exposure, internet pornography, marital rape, molestation, obscenity, rape, prostitution, sexual harassment, sexual abuse etc are everyday news. They are happening. But in general terms a sex crime is defined as an illegal sex act or illegal form of sexual behavior. If the accused is convicted, then for the remainder of their life they will be labeled as a sex offender. With this classification go many things.
