Sex Offenses and Sex Offender Registration

Sexual offenses involve intentional touching of another’s body, which can be construed as being done for sexual arousal or gratification.  Sexual offenses may be charged in a variety of ways and in different degrees.  If convicted of certain offenses, one may be required to register as a sexual offender.  The sexual offender registration requirements also apply to people who move to Maryland, who were required to register as sexual offenders in another state.  In most cases, the term of registration is at least 10 years, and it is required that the registration be updated regularly, from every three to six months.
