In Texas, sexual assault is the umbrella charge for a variety of sex crimes, including rape and aggravated sexual assault. All sexual assault charges are subject to prison sentences and lifetime registration as a sex offender. Other charges which carry less serious penalties but are equally damaging to your reputation are public lewdness (or lewd conduct), indecent exposure and solicitation of prostitution.

If you face any sex charge, it's important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible and not say anything to the police. Pleading guilty to any sex-related charge can be a career-destroyer.

While the criminal penalties he faced were trivial, the consequences on his career and reputation were not.
