Have you been accused of a sex crime in federal court in Palm Beach County, Florida? Federal sex crimes are among the most serious criminal offenses that someone can be charged with in the United States. These types of federal crimes also are associated with some of the most severe penalties, typically involving a significant imprisonment term, fines and sex offender registration after a defendant is released from prison. Sex offender registration can negatively influence a person’s chances to obtain housing or a job even after his or her debt to society has been paid by means of serving a prison sentence. When the sex crime involves a child or minor, the prison term and fines may be twice as much when compared to adult sex crimes. Therefore, because the stakes involved in federal sex crimes are so high, it is extremely important that you hire a criminal defense attorney experienced in representing those accused of such crimes. West Palm Beach Criminal Defense Attorney Bryan Raymond is a skilled, aggressive advocate who will aggressively fight for you if accused of a federal sex crime in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Federal Sex Crimes vs State Sex Crimes
Federal sex offenses like possession and distribution of child pornography, although also constituting criminal offenses under Florida state law, are most often prosecuted in federal court as federal crimes. This is due to the fact that many sexual offenses carry mandatory minimums under federal law, unlike their state law counterparts. Therefore, due to the fact that the punishments are often much steeper, most sex crimes are charged in federal rather than state court.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container admin_label=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”10px” padding_right=”10px” padding_bottom=”10px” padding_left=”10px”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text]
Possession or Distribution of Child Pornography
One of the federal sex crimes most commonly charged in federal court is possession with intent to distribute child pornography. Distribution of such materials is a commonly charged offense that, like many federal drug offenses, carries with it a mandatory minimum sentence, in this case five years’ imprisonment. Much like federal drug crimes, the number of images on a defendant’s computer can become a bargaining chip in plea negotiations with a federal prosecutor, as the potential sentence increases based upon the number of images a defendant is in possession of.

Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
Pursuant to federal law, anyone who has been convicted of certain federal sex crimes is required under the 2006 Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act to register and keep current his or her residence, employment status data and other personal information with a centralized federal database. If a convicted sex offender fails to register, update, and/or improperly updates sex registry information when required to do so he or she may be exposed to significant fines and up to 10 years in prison.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container admin_label=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” menu_anchor=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_mp4=”” video_webm=”” video_ogv=”” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” video_preview_image=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” padding_top=”10px” padding_right=”10px” padding_bottom=”10px” padding_left=”10px”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text]
