What happens when you are charged with a child sex crime?
Episode Transcript
Chris Combs: If you’re a tier three sex offender, you can only have approved electronic devices. You have to submit to lie detector tests, polygraph tests. That’s lifetime supervision.
Steve Waterkotte: I’ll give you a real life example. I have a client that I’m currently representing on a child sex crime. What’s at stake for him is – if he were convicted and placed on the sex offender registration – he would never be able to drop off his child at school, never be able to pick up his child at school, never be able to go to virtually any game. Because it’s going to be at a park. It’s going to have playground equipment. There’s rules on that.
Chris Combs: Can’t go to church.
Steve Waterkotte: Can’t go to church. If you think about it in a real life perspective. I have two children and I go to all their events and games. It comprises virtually all my time outside of work. To remove that and say, “I can’t do that? And go to a park?”
