Wisconsin Sex Crimes

Criminal Sex Offenses

Any sexual offense prohibited by Wisconsin laws is a criminal offense subject to felony or misdemeanor charges and penalties including fines, imprisonment, or both. Additionally, people convicted of a sexual assault crime are often ordered into probation or lifetime supervision and to register as a sex offender.

Wisconsin Sexual Offense Laws

Wisconsin laws include a broad range of misdemeanor and felony charges (see sex crimes below). In some states, there are relatively few sex-based criminal charges alleged against people, so very few people are convicted. Wisconsin is not one of those states. In Wisconsin, police regularly engage in cyber stings and entrapment efforts resulting in arrests for enticement and sexual assault of a child.

Under Wisconsin law, a person need not actually have sex or make sexual contact with a minor to be charged with a sexual assault crime. Wisconsin sexual assault and sex crime laws include many such statutory provisions that often result in arrest and branding a person as a sex offender and perpetrator.

The Public & Social Effects Of Sexual Assault Charges & Convictions

From the moment the media learn about an investigation or report involving a sex crime, the suspected offender is at risk of permanent damage to their reputation and standing in the community. Van Wagner and Wood's attorneys take early measures to shield sex crimes suspects from the media and protect them from reports, investigators and police badgering.
