Depending upon the state that one resides in and the specific charge that one is convicted of a given sexual assault conviction will warrant one convicted of such a charge as a registered sex offender.

If your son has yet to be convicted of the criminal charge that you are writing about, I recommend that you retain a very experienced criminal defense attorney to represent him with respect to the charge he is facing. Given the sexual nature of the charge, there is a lot riding on what the final result is.

Good luck to you and him.
