Convictions for sex crimes such as Incest, Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification or Sexual Assault are crippling men and women in Denver and Aurora. Sometimes, people make mistakes and go too far with their sexual desires – often under the influence of alcohol. As a result, they may face sex offender registration. Because of the harshness surrounding sex offender registration, our criminal defense attorneys fight hard to help our clients deregister. Judges are never required to permit deregistration. Let's learn more about the effects of sex offender registration and what it looks like to deregister in Colorado.

Registering as a Sex Offender and the Sex Offender Label in Denver

Somebody could be labeled a sex offender for watching an explicit movie with his child. That's different from many people's ideas of a sex offender.

If convicted of a sex offense in Denver or Arapahoe County, you are required by law to register as a sex offender, C.R.S. 16-22-103.

Sex offender registration was developed so people living in quiet neighborhoods or near public parks knew if a sex offender lived nearby. The idea was for them to take reasonable precautions around these offenders. Yet, the sex offender label can be misleading and instill unnecessary fear in the public.

For example, somebody could be living in your neighborhood with the label of a sex offender for watching an explicit movie with his children. That's different from many people's ideas of a sex offender in Denver or Adams County. Understandably, many people hear the words “sex offender” and assume all sex offenders on the registry are predators and violent people. But, that isn't true. Many persons convicted did not have any physical contact with a child or adult victim. There are several different types of sex offenses. Because we understand how sex offenders are treated in public settings, we fight hard for those wanting to deregister as a sex offender. Don't let sex offender registration keep you from a hopeful future.
