Penalties for Sexual Assault in Texas

Sexual assault penalties can vary somewhat depending on the exact sex crime committed and the particulars of the situation. Examples of sex crimes are:

• rape
• date rape
• child pornography
• child molestation
• sexual harassment
• statutory rape
• sexual abuse

These charges are taken very seriously by the state and penalties are severe. If injury or death occurred during or due to the assault, the charges are increased to a first degree felony or become a capital murder offense.

Besides extensive jail time and expensive fines, a conviction for a sex crime may require registration on the sex offender registry.

Having any crime on your record can impact your life negatively but because of the severe social stigma associated with any sex crime conviction, there can be an even greater impact on your family, social and business life.
