Sex Offender Registration

In addition to any punishments that may involve prison sentences or the payment of fines, conviction for many sex crimes may also require you to register as a sex offender. This requirement could have a profound impact on your life that goes beyond even the strict penalties for a felony conviction.

Sex offenders in Binghamton cannot hold many jobs, cannot live in many locations, and must periodically register with the sex offender board.

Misdemeanor Sex Crimes in Binghamton

Sex crimes range from the simple unwanted touching of another all the way to forced sexual intercourse. As a result, the penalties for sex crimes can differ greatly depending on the nature of the alleged act.

For instance, New York Penal Law §130.52 criminalizes the act of Forcible Touching. The statute defines this crime as the nonconsensual groping of another for sexual gratification, but it may alternatively involve sexual touching for the purpose of abusing or degrading another. While still a serious allegation, forcible touching is only a class A misdemeanor, meaning that it is punishable by a maximum of one year in jail.

Felony Sex Crimes

NYPL §130.35 defines Rape in the First Degree as any sexual intercourse that is achieved through the use of force, as well as any sex with a person under the age of eleven, or sex with a person who cannot resist. This is the most serious sex crime that you could face in Binghamton; accordingly, this crime is categorized as a class B felony punishable by a maximum of twenty-five years imprisonment.

Conversely, NYPL §130.50 provides the definition of a Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree. Such an act is very similar to rape, except the sexual contact does not take the form of penetrative intercourse. However, the law considers this just as serious as rape, so a conviction for first-degree criminal sexual act is also a class B felony.

Both of these crimes have lesser degrees with different criteria for a conviction, but all variants of these crimes are still felonies punishable by more than a year in prison.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

I was most fortunate to be able to hire Derrick Hogan on two separate occasions to fight tickets for us. I cannot even begin to tell you what kind of a professional we were dealing with. His character matched his ability as an attorney. Having to hire an attorney for an out of town situation was a very difficult decision to make. I feel so blessed with dealing with this esquire. Mr. Hogan handled us like a symphony. He was extremely kind, brilliant, confident, sincere, and worked very hard on our behalf. He takes great pride in his work and it certainly shows. I have never in my entire life worked with anyone this professional or more highly qualified. If you decide to hire Derrick Hogan, you will have made the decision to hire the best attorney possible. Sometimes driving a Lexus is a smoother ride than driving a Dodge. You would be getting a Lexus with this lawyer. I give him five stars; he is a superstar himself. What a pleasure for me to recommend Derrick Hogan. Derrick is the absolute BEST of the BEST.

Tully Rinckey PLLC's professionalism put me right at ease. They had all charges against me dropped! I truly felt they earned my whole retainer and they even sent me back what was not used. I did not feel overcharged by Tully Rinckey PLLC at all. Their hard work kept me from getting a criminal record that would have affected me for the rest of my life. For this I am grateful. I have never been in trouble in my entire life. Getting arrested, being put in jail and losing my job, changed me to the core. Because of all the hard work done by them, I have a new life to live. For that, I cannot ever thank them enough!

Derrick Hogan at Tully Rinckey handled my case and I feel fortunate that he was my lawyer. I called to talk with someone about my case and by chance was connected with Mr. Hogan. He listened, asked good questions, and gave me all the information I could have asked for. He explained every step, what would or could happen in very clear and easy to understand terms. I was sent a retainer and explained the case would be covered by a flat fee, and that anything that came up in the future relating to the case would be fully covered by that fee. Although my case was probably one of the simpler, easier cases they handle, Mr. Hogan always made me feel that my case was important to him. He always urged me to call him if I had questions or wanted him to go over anything again. He even called me to follow up before I had to call him – something I find is rare with almost any professionals these days. He treated me with utmost courtesy and respect, was knowledgeable, and reassuring.
C.P.
I contacted Tully Rinckey PLLC for representation and upon doing so, obtained Derrick Hogan as my attorney. Derrick was extremely comforting through the entire process and I was treated with dignity and respect right from the beginning. Derrick was very supportive and shared information with me every step of the way. I personally feel that Tully Rinckey hit a home run with putting Derrick Hogan on its team. Selecting Tully Rinckey was the right choice for me and I highly recommend both Derrick and the firm for anyone seeking professional representation.
