Although all criminal acts are considered bad by society, sex crimes seem to hold the public’s attention more so than others. A sex crime is one of those categories of crimes where innocent until proven guilty might not always hold true in some people’s eyes.

What Are Sex Crimes?

A sex crime is defined as a crime against a person involving some type of illegal sexual act. There is an extremely negative connotation in our society against anyone accused or charged with a sex crime, guilty or not. Once accused, a person may be labeled as a pervert or sexual predator. It is difficult to remove the stigma of these labels even if acquitted of any and all charges. The person might thereafter be considered guilty by associates, friends and even family, even when cleared of all wrongdoing.

Sexting & Juvenile Sex Offender Crimes in FL

In Florida, it is illegal for minors to sext each other and the first violation will result in noncriminal penalties. If you keep sexting other minors while also being a minor, you will face harsher penalties. It is also illegal for a minor to not just send but to also receive and posses lewd images a minor sent. However, the law provides that no violation is committed if the recipient did not solicit the photo, did not transmit or distribute it to others, and took reasonable steps to report the transmitted photo to a guardian, school official, or law enforcement official. The penalties for breaking this law includes:

1st Offense: the minor receives a noncriminal citation that outlines the following options: complete eight hours of community service, pay a $60 penalty, participate in a cyber-safety program, or contest (challenge) the citation in court.
2nd Offense: results in first-degree misdemeanor charges. Any subsequent violation is punishable as a third-degree felony.

ARE JUVENILES REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS SEX OFFENDERS?

A juvenile convicted of a sex offense may be deemed a sex offender and be placed on the sex offender registry in Florida. He/she may have to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 25 years. Registration involves publicly publishing the child’s picture and address and updated information with the local sheriff’s office.
