Sex Offences and the Child and Youth Protection Act
These cases bring not only criminal punishment but registration of personal information and employment restrictions. How you respond in the early police investigation changes the outcome.
Sex offence cases, including violations of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sex Offences, take many forms: indecent act by compulsion, rape, quasi-rape and quasi-indecent act by compulsion, illegal filming, and distribution of the resulting images.
Beyond criminal punishment, such cases can bring registration of personal information and employment restrictions, with serious consequences for a person's place in society, so the early response matters a great deal.
