Press Release Summary: Californians convicted of sex crimes, ignoring the advice of reputable sex crimes attorneys, take to the streets to avoid legal hassles.
Press Release Body: Douglas Slain, an experienced California sex crimes attorney, has noticed an emerging trend. It seems that many persons convicted of sex crimes in California are trying to worm their way around the system on their own, rather than seeking counsel from a qualified California sex crimes attorney. The issue at hand is known as Jessica's Law, a 2006 measure with overwhelming support among California voters. The law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks, or other places where children gather. In congested urban cities, where hundreds of thousands of people must find a way to share increasingly limited amounts of space, it is often very difficult for those registered sex offenders to find a legal living location. The stopgap solution adopted by many registered California sex offenders has been to declare themselves "homeless," moving from hotel to hotel or simply lying about their residence, rather than adopting a permanent address. Or, in the worst-case scenario, offenders simply vanish from the registry, rather than continuing to live with the stigma of a California sex crimes conviction. Critics of the measure point to a nearly thirty percent increase in the number of convicted sex offenders who disappeared in the first year under the new legal restrictions. Obviously, the situation is highly politicized, with many legislators afraid to tackle repealing or changing such a highly popular, if ineffective, piece of California sex crimes legislation. For advice in dealing with the aftereffects of a sex crimes conviction, or to ensure that a conviction doesn't happen, contact a sex crimes attorney with experience in the state of California. The law is complex at best, and often downright murky. Navigating through allegations of a sex crime, or staying legal after a conviction, is something no one can do alone, or should have to.
