Atlanta Sex Offender Registration Violations Attorney

A conviction for a sex crime in Georgia usually leads to mandatory registration as a sex offender. Life on the sex offender registry is challenging, to say the least. Residence and work restrictions can be daunting, while inclusion in a public database allows friends and neighbors to find out about the offense. When a person fails to register as a sex offender -- whether on purpose to avoid these problems, or by mistake during the confusing registration process -- they face stiff penalties. Those close to a sex offender may also face consequences if they take steps to help a loved one avoid detection by authorities. The Georgia statute lays out the following crimes:

• Failure to Register As A Sex Offender

• Harboring, Concealing, or Withholding Information Concerning A Sexual Offender
