Cleaning Your Sex Record in Sacramento
HONEST AND COST-EFFICIENT LEGAL COUNSEL TO HELP YOU START FRESH
Your past should not define you. We understand it is difficult and often discouraging to reintegrate into society following a sex conviction if the label follows you everywhere you go. Even when you try to turn a new leaf, others may continue to look at you with a stigmatized lens. At Steve Whitworth Attorney At Law, we can help you start fresh by petitioning for your removal from the sex offender registry and for expungement, if eligible.

Removal From the Sex Offender Registry
Recall that the Sex Offender Registration Act requires anyone convicted of certain sex offenses in California to register as sex offenders. Under the state’s 3-tier registration, system, low-level offenses may only warrant registration for 10 years (Tier One), while mid-level offenses could require 20 years of registration (Tier Two) and serious offenses lifetime registration (Tier Three).
Some examples of offenses and their associated registration tier are:
- Tier One – misdemeanor sexual battery, indecent exposure
- Tier Two – lewdness with a minor under 14 years old, non-forced sodomy with a minor under 14
- Tier Three – most rape cases, sex trafficking of children, aggravated sexual assault of a child, child molestation, child pornography
- the crime they were convicted of was sexual battery by restraint;
- the crime they were convicted of was annoying or molesting a child;
- the offense they committed did not involve penetration or oral copulation;
- the alleged victim was the defendant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, or sibling;
- they have successfully completed their probation sentence.
Can Sex Convictions Be Expunged?
Another way a person may seek to clear their criminal sex record is by petitioning for expungement. However, keep in mind that certain sex crimes involving children are not eligible for expungement. More specifically, the following sex crimes may not be expunged:
- Penal Code 286(c) PC – sodomy with a child
- Penal Code 288 PC – lewd acts with a child
- Penal Code 287 (c) PC – oral copulation with a child
- Penal Code 261.5(d) PC – statutory rape (sexual intercourse between persons who are 21 years and older and persons younger than 16 years old)
