Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

Phoenix Sex Crime Lawyers on Your Side

Arizona requires individuals convicted of felony sex crimes to register as sex offenders. If you fail to do so, you will face a further charge: Failure to Register. As felony sex offenders are required to register within a specific period of time, if you fail to do so, even if it is a mere error on your part, it will likely be considered that you are not rehabilitated and you are still a serious danger to society. If you are found guilty, you will face penalties for the crime. Failing to register will be interpreted as you trying to "hide" in order to commit more similar crimes.
