Sex Crimes

Under Texas law, what is a sex crime?

Sex crimes refer to a broad category of offenses that generally involve illegal or forced sexual behavior against another person. For instance, it is against the law to have sex with someone without their consent, including those who are legally unable to consent, such as a child.
