What are Sex Crimes?

A sex crime involves committing a sexual act without the other person’s legal consent. There are various types of sexual offenses in Pennsylvania. The penalties for each offense are based on the nature of the crime, the age of the alleged victim, and the defendant’s criminal history.

Types of Sex Offenses

Our firm handles a wide range of sex crimes, such as the following:

  • Rape – This offense is defined as having sexual intercourse by force or threat, or while he/she is intoxicated or unconscious. Rape is a first-degree felony, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. If the offense involved a child less than 13 years old, the maximum term is 40 years. If the offense involves a child who suffered serious injury, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
  • Sexual assault – This offense is defined as sexual intercourse without the other person’s consent. Sexual assault is a second-degree felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years and a maximum fine of $25,000.
  • Statutory rape – This offense is defined as an adult having consensual sexual intercourse with a minor who is under 16 years old. Statutory rape is a second-degree felony; however, if the defendant is at least 11 years older than the minor who is under 16, then the offense is a first-degree felony.
  • Child pornography – This offense means intentionally possessing or viewing material depicting minors under 18 years of age engaging in sexual acts or simulations of such acts. A first offense is a third-degree felony, which carries a prison term of up to seven years and a maximum fine of $15,000. Any subsequent offense is a second-degree felony.

“Great Attorney”

Leno represented me in two separate zoning issues with the Municipality of Norristown that he handled quickly and without incident. In one instance, he represented me in court and in the other represented me in negotiations with the municipality’s Solicitor. Both outcomes were to my satisfaction.
