Understanding Indiana's Sex Offender Registration

All convicted individuals in Indiana must register as sex offenders, but the duration of registration will depend on the offense, ranging from 10 years to registration for life. There are 4 types of offender categories in Indiana that require different lengths of registration:

• Sexually violent predators – sex offender registration for life
• Offenders against children – sex offender registration for life if the alleged victim was younger than 12 years old
• Sex offenders – sex offender registration for 10 years (from the date the defendant is released from incarceration or placed on parole or probation, whichever is latest)
• Violent offenders – sex offender registration for 10 years

Sex offender registration could seriously limit your job opportunities, destroy your social life, and restrict where you can live. As a result, it is advisable to consult an experienced attorney about how to navigate the consequences following a sex crime accusation, as well as how to build a defense for reduced or dismissed charges. 

Gemma & Karimi, LLP may pursue a variety of defense options depending on your case, such as showing the act involved consent rather than criminal behavior. They may also be able to challenge the prosecution by proving you were elsewhere at the time the offense was committed. Sex crime charges can be difficult to defend, but not impossible. That’s what Gemma & Karimi, LLP is here for.
