Molestation:
Molestation
is a crime that may carry a
lasting social stigma and serious legal consequences. In some states, because of
overwhelming pressure from the public, many prosecutors will stop at nothing to
gain a conviction in these cases. And the potential punishment for a conviction
can be quite severe. In part because of Megan's Law, a
Molestation conviction
could mean that you must register as a sex offender everywhere you go for the
rest of your life.
