Alec Rose
Attorney & Criminal Law Specialist
I have run my own law firm since the beginning of my legal career, beginning in 1993-2003. For three years, I joined another law firm where I learned much about criminal defense counsel. From there, I realized that I much preferred working on a more personal level with the people that I represent and returned to private practice after that.
When you hire me as your criminal defense attorney, you can expect to work with me directly throughout the entire process — not paralegals or secretaries. You are facing a difficult time in your life, and I want to give you my undivided, personalized attention from start to finish.
IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK.
Sex crimes are offenses that typically occur when violence and sexual acts are committed simultaneously — when the victim does not give consent, or when the victim isn’t able to give consent. Because of the nature of sex crimes, those convicted of them must register as a sex offender, which will have a significant impact on how they live their life going forward.
Different Categories of Sex Crimes

Lack of Consent
If you have been accused of acting violently and using physical force against another sexually, you may be charged with sexual assault or rape. This involves any form of unwanted sexual contact ranging from kissing to groping or penetration.

Involving Children
The California age of consent is 18 years old. This means anyone younger than that is not sexually, cognitively, or emotionally mature enough to consent to sex in the eyes of the law. If convicted, you could be facing anywhere from a year or so to life in prison.

Because the majority of these crimes are felonies, they’ll stay on your record even after you’re taken off the registry, preventing you from job opportunities and more.
Restrictions
You could be prohibited from being able to live in certain places or exercise your second amendment rights. You will almost certainly have to inform your neighbors of your sex offender status.
