Among the most damaging, severe and heinous crimes are sex crimes. A sex crime charge puts a lot at risk — your reputation, your marriage, your job — even your freedom. If you have been charged with a sex crime in North Carolina, it is time to get serious about protecting your rights. NEVER speak with law enforcement under ANY circumstance if you have been charged or accused of committing a sex crime.

Understanding The Sex Offender Registration
People convicted of certain sex crimes in North Carolina are required to register as sex offenders with their local sheriff's office. Registered sex offenders face severe limitations on freedoms most of us take for granted. A registered sex offender may not be allowed to live in certain neighborhoods or work in certain occupations. There is a social stigma attached to sex offender registration that could haunt you for life.
If you are facing sex crime charges or are already on the sex offender registry, Al Messer can help you understand your rights and obligations.
