A Sex Crime Accusation Can Change Everything — Before You're Even Convicted
Sex crime allegations carry consequences that begin the moment accusations surface. From the earliest stages of a sex crime investigation, your reputation, career, and freedom are at risk. A sex crime conviction in New York can result in a felony sex offense record, mandatory sex offender registration under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA), long-term probation, and life-altering restrictions.
The attorneys at Addabbo & Greenberg Law understand what's at stake. As former prosecutors who handled serious criminal offenses in the Queens County District Attorney's Office, they know exactly how the prosecution builds a sex crime case — and where those cases break down.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sex Crime Charges in Queens, NY
What should I do if I'm accused of a sex crime in Queens?
Do not speak to law enforcement without an attorney present. Contact a criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights before charges are formally filed.
Can sex crime charges be dismissed before trial?
Yes. Many sex crime cases are dismissed at the pre-trial stage due to insufficient evidence, credibility issues with the accuser, or constitutional violations during the investigation.
What is SORA and how does it affect me?
The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) requires individuals convicted of certain sex offenses to register as a sex offender in New York. Registration affects where you can live, work, and travel, and it may be publicly disclosed depending on your risk level.
Does a sex crime conviction automatically lead to sex offender registration?
Not every sex-related conviction triggers SORA registration, but many do. The classification level — Level 1, 2, or 3 — determines the duration and public visibility of registration.
What defenses are available in a sex crime case?
Common defenses include consent, false accusation, mistaken identity, lack of corroborating evidence, and constitutional violations during the sex crime investigation or arrest.
What courts handle sex crime cases in Queens?
Most sex crime charges are prosecuted in Queens Supreme Court or Queens Criminal Court, located in Kew Gardens, NY.
