Sex crimes range in severity and may be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony.  The severity of the charge will depend on the type of crime committed, if the victim was a minor, if the victim sustained injuries, if the defendant has prior sex crime charges, and if the defendant has a prior criminal record. 

Sex Crime Penalties
If a person is convicted of a single sex crime, he/she may have to spend up to 8 years in prison.  If the person is convicted of multiple sex crimes, he/she could be sentenced with life imprisonment.  A sex crime conviction can also result in monetary fines, probation, community service, and court ordered treatment.  Additionally, any person who is convicted of a sex crime will have to submit their name and information to the California Sex Offender Registry.
