Penalties for Sex Crimes in Ohio
Sex crimes can lead to severe penalties that turn a person's life upside down for months, years, or even for the rest of the foreseen future. Once convicted of a sex offense, a person could face a lengthy jail sentence, living restrictions, and may even lose out on their dream job. These consequences can lead to a lifetime of hardship in the form of shattered personal relationships and difficulty finding employment.
Penalties for sex crimes in Ohio include:
- Heavy fines
- Jail or prison sentence (especially for federal crimes)
- Mandatory registration as a sex offender
- Psychological treatment
Even if you are only being investigated for a sex crime and have not been formally charged, it is crucial that you secure the services of a Columbus sex crime attorney who can determine the actual facts of the case and challenge the validity of the accusations. You are able to view the details of your sex crime case and stay informed online through the Licking County Clerk of Courts.

"Great Representation"There are three reasons I recommend Zachuary Meranda if you are arrested for DUI. First off, he is a straight shooter. Never did he sugar coat my situation. Second, he handled everything while keeping me informed and walked me through everything as it progressed. Third, he got me the result- NO DUI!!! Thanks Zak!- Shane Dolen

What should I do if my child was arrested?No parent wants their child to have to go through an ordeal like being arrested.

The juvenile justice system is different from the adult justice system and so it is important that you have a legal representative who understands the juvenile system and can help you get through this time. Whether your child has been accused of DUI, a drug crime, a misdemeanor, or a felony, you will be able to have peace of mind knowing that we are there helping you every step of the way.
