Consensual Crime In Arapahoe County
A victimless crime, sometimes termed a consensual crime, a crime without victims, or a complainant-less crime is a “crime that is considered to have no direct victim, usually because only consenting adults are involved.” Black’s Law Dictionary. State laws regarding victimless sex offenses vary greatly, but state statutes typically address victimless sex offenses such as prostitution, pandering, solicitation, indecent exposure and illegal possession of pornography. The penalties for victimless sex offenses in Arapahoe County, such as solicitation of a minor or child pornography, are severe, often involving felony convictions, jail or prison time, sexual offender treatment programs, and lifetime registration as a sexual offender.

Some men caught in this situation have no prior record, want to keep the matter private and do not want to go to trial to avoid potentially adverse effects on their marriage, family and employment.
