Sex Crimes
New Hampshire has strict laws and penalties dealing with sex crimes, that can include life in prison. There are a variety of types of crimes that can be classified as a sex crime.
Some of those include:
- Rape / Statutory Rape
- Sexual Assault and Aggravated Sexual Assault
- Indecent Exposure
- Prostitution
- Pornography
- Using a computer to solicit anyone under the age of 16 for sex
- Failing to register as a Sex Offender
See N.H. RSA 632-A, for more detailed information generally, or click on the specific crime for more information.
Depending on which crime you are charged with, and any priors, you could be facing up to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Some of the sex crime penalties also carry tough mandatory minimum sentences that could be as high as 20 years in prison.
Besides serious prison time and fines, you also face collateral consequences if found guilty. Those can include having to register as a sex offender, the duties associated with registering as a sex offender, restrictions on where you can live, and the stigma of what others may think of you knowing of your past conviction.

Client Testimonials
Experience
"I was charged with attempted murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and as an accessory before and after the fact. I was facing a possibility of up to 10 years in prison for each offense. With Attorney Hynes' hard work and knowledge of the law, he was able to get all of the charges dismissed."
Jose C. – Fitchburg, MA
Kept me out of prison
"I was charged with indecent exposure. I had already had a previous conviction for this, and was therefore facing a potential Class B felony of up to 7 years in prison if convicted. Attorney Hynes believed in me when I told him I didn't do it. We went to trial and I was found Not Guilty!."
J.P. – Nashua, NH
Knows the Law
"I was arrested for theft. Attorney Hynes recommended I go to trial to fight the charge instead of a plea bargain. Thanks to Attorney Hynes' experience and knowledge of the law, at the end of the prosecution's case, Attorney Hynes got a verdict of not guilty as the prosecution had not proven its case."
Czeslaw H. – Salem, NH
Great Negotiation
"I was charged with a felony charge of possession with intent to distribute drugs. I am a college student and besides facing a lengthy prison term, any drug sentence would make me lose my finanical aid. He was able to quickly reduce it to a non possession drug charge so I could keep my finanical aid and did not go to jail."
M. G. – Derry, NH
Charge Dismissed, firearms returned, no contact order removed
"I was charged with Simple Assault, Domestic Violence. Attorney Hynes got the charge dismissed and I was able to see my fianceé again and able to keep my firearms."
Charles S. – Manchester, NH
Saved me from being Deported
I am an immigrant with a green card. I was arrested for shoplifting. Attorney Hynes informed me that this is considered a crime involving moral turputide, and under the Federal Immigration law I would likely be deported if convicted. Attorney Hynes was able to get the charge reduced to a violation, so that I can remain in the country with my family. He was able to do all of that any only charged me $500.
