Sex Offender Registration in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix Sex Crime Defense Attorney

One of the penalties that may be associated with a sex crime conviction is the mandatory registration as a sex offender, sometimes for life. The defendant must register within 10 days of the conviction or adjudication with the sheriff in the county where he or she resides. Re-registration will be required at regular intervals, usually at the defendant's birthday and if the defendant moves, changes his or her name and/or gets a new job. The failure to register or re-register is a felony offense with serious penalties of its own. The following offenses may be punishable by sex offender registration:

• Unlawful imprisonment (in certain circumstances)
• Kidnapping (in certain circumstances)
• Sexual abuse of a minor
• Sexual conduct with a minor
• Sexual assault
• Child molestation
• Continuous sexual abuse of a child
• Child prostitution
• Sexual exploitation of a minor (child pornography)
• Sex trafficking of a minor
• Indecent exposure (in certain circumstances)
• Unlawful age misrepresentation
