Douglas County & Arapahoe County Charges of Public Indecency

Have you ever gotten away with having sex in a car? If so, you're lucky. One nosy onlooker or a passing Douglas County Police Officer, and you may be facing Public Indecency charges. While you or your significant other may not find anything wrong with this, Public Indecency falls under Colorado Offenses Relating to Morals and others may not like to witness, or have their children witness, excessive PDA. A crime similar to Indecent Exposure, Public Indecency is not something you want to have on your record in Arapahoe County.

Jefferson County Sexual Exploitation: How Normally Charged Under C.R.S. 18-6-403

Sexual Exploitation of a Child, is harmful to kids. For this reason, government agencies give police grants to make arrests for possession of nude images of kids. If they make arrests, they get more money. If they don't, their grant is not renewed. With money on the line, police go fishing for men. They go to peer to peer networks where people share files. Here, they search for known file hash values, common images names, or files from web sites where child pornography is commonly based. Never let people into your computer remotely.

Colorado Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor Law Makes No Sense

Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor - A Felony in Denver & Jefferson County, Colorado

It makes no sense to me that Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor is a Felony in Denver, Colorado. Colorado criminal statute law violations are written on the basis that someone is charged with a felony if a serious law violation has occurred. Murder is worse than shoplifting, shooting someone is worse than punching them, and stealing $300,000 is worse than stealing $100. Why then, is someone charged with a class 4 felony of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor in Jefferson County if they induce, aid or encourage a child to litter, make loud noises at night, or let a dog bark? What is another class 4 felony? Sexual assault.

Enticement of a Child and Internet Luring of a Child in Denver, Colorado: What is the Difference?

Enticement of a Child and Internet Luring of a Child are very similar crimes, and if you are contacted by Police regarding either crime, it is important that you do not talk with them. Because of the seriousness of these charges, a conviction could mean years, if not life in prison, and Denver Police look for anything and everything that can be used against you in court. Both crimes involve the attempt to meet up with a child, but the intent of the meeting is what matters when distinguishing between the two charges. Enticement and Internet Luring are defined below:

Sex Offender Registration in Denver, Colorado - C.R.S. 16-22-103

By Terry O’Malley of O'Malley and Sawyer, LLC posted in Sex Offender Registration on Saturday, July 21, 2018.

Registering as a Sex Offender in Denver & Jefferson County

Colorado law requires sex offenders to register their address, work location, email addresses, and a list of personal information with the local law enforcement where they live. See our Sex Offender Registration page. Agencies such as the Denver Police Department and Jefferson County Sheriff are required to post some of that information, including a photograph of the offender, on the internet for public access. Why? I believe it's because the average citizen believes what we are told too easily about increased safety. Furthermore, the public likes the idea that sex offenders should be re-punished. Our Colorado State Legislature doesn't say they want to dish out more punishment, so they say internet posting of sex offenders information is done for "public safety" reasons.

Arapahoe County - Resisting and Obstruction Charges

Resisting Arrest, C.R.S. 18-8-103 and Obstructing a Peace Officer, C.R.S. 18-8-104, are generally filed against our Colorado clients in two circumstances: 1) when police don't have anything else to charge you with - so they scrutinize your interaction with them and 2) when sheriff deputies want to stack charges against you, because the underlying crime they were called on is not serious enough. Either way, Arapahoe County Police and Sheriff Deputies add on these charges because they do not like the way you treated THEM, as opposed to your interaction with their alleged victim.

Juvenile Crime in Jefferson County, Colorado

Juveniles will think they are invincible, untouchable when it comes to crime, until they are facing the life-altering consequences of a serious conviction like First-degree arson or Minor in Possession of Alcohol. Teenagers may not understand the seriousness of their actions, might see their behavior as innocent "fun", peer pressure may have played a huge factor, or underage drinking could have affected their better judgment. We know that mistakes happen, and we do not believe that your child's future should have to suffer for a lapse in judgment.
