Sex Crimes in Rhode Island

There are a variety of crimes that fall under the “sex crimes” category in the state of Rhode Island. There are internet sex crimes, which involves any kind of sexual offenses conducted via the internet. This includes being in possession of or distributing child pornography. Soliciting a minor or endangering the welfare of a minor can also lead you to being convicted of a sex crime in this state.

No matter which offense you are being charged with, it is not something to take lightly. You must take these charges seriously as they can have a severe impact on your life. Not only will it impact your personal life and relationships, but it can also cause you to lose your job and prevent you from securing future employment. It may even become difficult for you to find housing, as you could be denied by a landlord. It will also be devastating to your personal reputation.
