Re: attempted CSC 4th degree

I cannot tell you to fight the case without knowing more of the facts. Even if you are offered assault & battery, some prosecutors will argue that you must register on the sex offender registry because the facts of the case (not the offense you pled to) consititue a sex offense. There is a "catch-all" provision in the sex offender registry law.

Re: attempted CSC 4th degree

It is difficult to determine whether you should fight the charge without knowing all the facts. In addition, with SORA, even if you plead to a lesser offense, part of the deal may force you to register according to the terms of the original charged offense. Because being convicted of any sex crime can haunt you the rest of your life, it is probably a good idea to hire an experienced attorney.
