"Sex crimes" is a general term for any type of crime or conduct that society deems immoral or unacceptable sexual behavior. Sex crimes charges include:

• soliciting a prostitute (or police decoy)
• indecent exposure
• lewd conduct
• molestation
• statutory rape
• sexual abuse or assault (with a child or an adult)
• rape

There are notable differences in our Justice System today between a sex crimes case and other criminal charges. While it is your Constitutional right as an American citizen to be guaranteed that you are "innocent until proven guilty," in reality, as a sex crimes defendant, your presumption of innocence is completely thrown out the window - especially if the alleged victim is a child.
