OVERVIEW OF SEX CRIMES OFFENSES Sexual offenses include all forms of illegal sexual activity. A sex crime offense can extend from prostitution or sex for hire to the crime of rape or sexual penetration without consent. Most serious sex crimes involve sexual assault, sexual batter, sexual assault of children, or include physical injury. Sex crime offenses also include prostitution, solicitation, public indecency, voyeurism, pornography, lewd acts, pandering, pimping, as well as statutory rape or date rape. Most sex crimes laws are gender-neutral with the intent to protect all sexual-assault victims.
The classification of sex crimes and penalties thereto mainly depend on the type of conduct displayed by the person charged and the type of victim injured by the sex crime. Generally, most sex assault, sex battery, and sexual-abuse crimes are charged by the state as felonies. Other lesser sex offenses, such as public indecency and prostitution, are often charged by the state as misdemeanors.
PENALTIES Sex crime offenses include a broad variety of activities prohibited by state or federal statutes. Sex crime offenses also include attempts to commit such acts, as well as conspiracies to commit any of the sex crimes acts. Penalties for a sex crime conviction depend on many factors, but the foremost factor is the level of felony or misdemeanor the state has charged. Under Ohio laws, the lower the felony or misdemeanor number, the higher the penalty that an offender may face.
As a sex crimes cases may involve the use of firearms, in addition to the sex crime offense itself, supplemental penalties may be assessed for the use of a firearm (ORC 2929.14(D)(1)(a)):
