A conviction of solicitation of a minor using the internet case will result in prison time and registration on the Sex Offender Registry Act list. Because of these factors, it is extremely important that you have a defense attorney who knows all aspects of statutory rape law and changes to the SORA requirements.
In addition to the criminal penalties imposed for a sex crime conviction, registration on the Sex Offender Registry is also required. All registrable offenses are categorized into one of three separate Tiers:
Along with the individual tier creations, the recent changes to the Sex Offender Registry List (SORA) enable certain convicted sex offenders to avoid the registration requirement altogether or have their registration period reduced. It is critical to choose an attorney that thoroughly understands the requirements of SORA as well as the avenues available to avoid registration.
SORA is so extremely complicated that many judges and lawyers are relying on seminars and colleagues for guidance. Our office has painstakingly reviewed the current version of the legislation and are ready to help our clients take advantage of the changes.
