A sex crime is any type of criminal offense that involves sexual conduct or behavior. Depending on the jurisdiction, sex crimes may include sex trafficking (including forced labor), sex offender registration, exploitation of children and persons with disabilities, child pornography, rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, and other forms of non-consensual sexual contact, as well as handling and distributing obscene material. It is important to note that sex crime charges vary in legal severity according to each jurisdiction. Stricter punishments can result from misconduct such as coerced sex or sex with minors, while those who filmed or photographed pornography involving minors may face different penalties still. In general, punishments for sex crimes depend on the circumstances of the case: verdicts may range from probation to time in prison.
