York County Sex Crimes Attorney
Sex crimes are prosecuted with the utmost diligence in the state of Virginia. Just being accused of a sexual offense can lead to serious legal and social consequences. For one, you could be arrested even before you are convicted of a crime. You might also face professional difficulties due to a damaged reputation. Furthermore, convictions not only come with fines and possible incarceration, but you might also have to register as a sex offender, which can drastically limit your work opportunities and impact your home life for years to come. That’s why it’s extremely important to fight these charges as aggressively as possible.
At Sunshine Law Group, we understand that being accused of any type of sex crime can be a difficult and confusing experience. We will guide you through the legal system and design a defense strategy according to your specific needs. We are committed to empowering you through knowledgeable legal counsel and skilled representation.

Fighting Sexual Offense Charges
Virginia’s legal statutes outline the following sexual offenses:
- Rape
- Sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault
- Indecent exposure
- Indecent contact
- Performing obscene acts in public
- Possession of child pornography
- Sharing child pornography
- Creating or sharing nude/partially nude photographs of anyone without their expressed permission
These crimes are punishable by a range of legal penalties, including incarceration, fines, court fees, community service, mandatory counseling, and probation. Depending on the crime and the specific facts of your case, you could face either a misdemeanor or felony charge. Penalties for the most serious offenses can result in multi-year sentences (potentially as long as life in prison).
Additionally, a person convicted of any sexual crime will likely have to register as a sex offender; however, registration requirements vary based on your alleged offense. All these penalties will likely be enhanced if a minor was involved.
