Understanding Sex Crimes And Internet Offenses
Sex crimes and internet offenses often intersect in today’s digital landscape. These charges can range from sexual assault and child pornography to online solicitation and revenge porn. The internet has created new avenues for potential criminal activity, including sexting, computer sex crimes and online predator allegations. Penalties for these convictions can be severe, often including lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines and mandatory sex offender registration.

How Do State And Federal Internet Sex Crimes Charges Differ?
State charges typically involve offenses committed within Illinois, while federal charges often cross state lines or involve federal property. Federal cases generally carry harsher penalties with mandatory minimum sentences and are prosecuted in federal court.
Can Charges Be Dismissed If Law Enforcement Used Entrapment During An Online Sting Operation?
Entrapment can be a valid defense if you can prove that law enforcement induced you to commit a crime you would not have otherwise committed. However, this defense requires careful analysis of the specific circumstances of your case.
How Can I Get Removed From The Sex Offender Registry In Illinois?
Removal from the Illinois State Police Sex Offender Registry depends on various factors, including:
- The nature of the offense
- Time elapsed since the conviction
- Your compliance with registration requirements
Some offenders may petition for removal after a certain period, while others may face lifetime registration.
