In Oklahoma, if you are convicted of a sex crime, you may have to register as a sex offender.
Often, prosecutors do not offer a plea bargain that will allow you to avoid the registry entirely. This requires a strong defense from the beginning.
There are several types of common sex crime charges in Oklahoma:
Sometimes the only evidence that prosecuting attorneys have is the statement of an alleged victim or a witness.
For the most part, the vast majority of Oklahoma sex crimes are serious felonies that have the potential to spur significant fines and a multi-year prison sentence. However, it is possible for some of the charges detailed above, such as prostitution, to be charged as a misdemeanor.
These felonies are punishable by years in prison or even life in prison and lifelong sex offender registration.
It is also important to note internet sex crimes are also punished quite severely in Oklahoma. Everything from soliciting a minor for sex or nude images on the web to sexting and making an indecent or lewd proposal to a minor over the web qualify as internet sex crimes punishable by law.
