RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

NO STATEMENTS
LAW ENFORCEMENT * PROSECUTORS * THIRD PERSONS

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

        My clients are advised not to discuss facts, law or trial strategy in any offense of a sexual nature or civil nuisance abatement proceeding with anyone other than myself as legal counsel or a private investigator retained as my agent, who is covered by the attorney - client privilege.  Statements to any third person may be grounds for additional criminal charges, even if the other person is a trusted confidant.  In cases alleging a sexual or drug offense, it is quite common for others to be previously or subsequently apprehended and offer information to law enforcement or prosecution in return for reduced charges or immunity (transactional or use).  Because offenses of a sexual or drug nature may be perceived as deviant or on-going enterprises, VNI units of law enforcement recruit confidential informants to gain information.  It would also not be uncommon for a person's confidant to be a confidential informer, perhaps wearing a wire.  Be very careful what you tell or say to other persons - your statements may be used against you at hearing or trial, and the third person's testimony may be involuntarily compelled by subpoena.  Website visitors who are not my clients should consult with your attorney before talking.

        Twice said - Admissions made by a criminal defendant may be admissible in the prosecutor's case in chief.  Do not discuss a case or make any statements whatsoever with any law enforcement officer, prosecutor, witness, the other involved party  or any other third person. Prosecutors will not hesitate to file intimidation of witness felony charges, and your statements are admissible in a trial or motions hearing.  You have the absolute right to remain silent even if police don't tell you.  Exercise that right.  Consult with your attorney before talking.

When the police contact you, don't try to explain the circumstances.  Stop Talking.
Simply say at the outset that you wish to remain silent & want an attorney.

SEX OFFENDER - GENERAL INFORMATION

        Sex offenders are treated differently from normal crimes by Colorado law and may be broken down into three categories.
        1.  Registration
        2.  Treatment
        3.  Sentencing, including genetic testing - DNA seizure

        Prior to November 1, 1998 sentencing was provided under the Sentencing of Sex Offenders Act - CRS 18-1-901, et. seq..  That act included what I consider to be minor offenses - e.g. indecent exposure and unlawful sexual contact

        Subsequent to that time, the legislature adopted the Lifetime Supervision of Sex Offenders Act - CRS 18-1.3-1001 et. seq.  Crimes sentenced under this Act are what I consider major offense, and I no longer provide representation in these types of cases.  Therefore, sentencing references in this web page will be limited to those offenses for which I will provide representation.

****************************** ****************************** ******************************

Persons Required to Register

CRS 16-22-103. Sex offender registration - required - applicability - exception.
        (1) Effective July 1, 1998, the following persons shall be required to register pursuant to the provisions of CRS 16-22-108 and shall be subject to the requirements and other provisions specified in this article:
        (2) (a) On and after July 1, 1994, any person who is convicted in the state of Colorado of unlawful sexual behavior or of another offense, the underlying factual basis of which involves unlawful sexual behavior, or any person who is released from the custody of the department of corrections having completed serving a sentence for unlawful sexual behavior or for another offense, the underlying factual basis of which involved unlawful sexual behavior, shall be required to register in the manner prescribed in CRS 16-22-104, CRS 16-22-106 or CRS 16-22-107, whichever is applicable, and CRS 16-22-108.
            (b) A person shall be deemed to have been convicted of unlawful sexual behavior if he or she is convicted of one or more of the offenses specified in CRS 16-22-102 (9), or of attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit one or more of the offenses specified in said section.

People v. Meidinger, 987 P.2d 937 (Colo. App. 1999) (underlying charge - pimping a minor)

FACTS: Numerous charges related to child prostitution were filed; defendant pleaded guilty to contributing to delinquency of a minor.

        "History" can include the underlying circumstances of the offense and is not limited to convictions for one or more of the enumerated sex offenses. If the underlying offenses are included in the list of enumerated sex offenses contained in CRS 16-11.7-102(3), even though a person may be convicted in Colorado of a crime which is not on the list, defendant is a "sex offender" because he / she has a "history" of sex offenses. That requires registration as a sex offender under CRS 18-3-412.5(1)(b. The person will be characterized under CRS 16-11.7-102(2) as a "sex offender" and, thus, could be ordered by the court to undergo evaluation and treatment as such. Completion of a sex offender evaluation as required by CRS 16-11.7-104 is mandatory. People v. Lenzini, 986 P.2d 980 (Colo. App. July 8, 1999) See also Miyasato v. State, 892 P.2d 200 (Alaska Ct. App. 1995) (burglary defendant with past record of sex offenses properly required to undergo sex offender treatment as condition of probation); State v. Shepherd, 554 N.W.2d 821 (N.D. 1996) (burglary defendant required to undergo sex offender treatment where that condition was reasonably related to the underlying circumstances of crime).

        However, if not convicted of a "sex offense" within the meaning of CRS §§ 18-21-102(2) and 16-11.7-102(3), the trial court may not impose a sex offender surcharge under CRS 18-21-103(1).

        Essentially what the above case means is that if a defendant is charged with a statutorily defined sex offense, the defendant must achieve a flat dismissal of the case or not guilty verdict to avoid being classified as a sex offender.  Dismissal of only the statutorily defined sex offense(s) or plea to a deferred sentence are insufficient to avoid sex offender designation.

        CRS 18-3-412.5 requires persons who are convicted of "unlawful sexual behavior" to register with local law enforcement agencies; the substantive terms of this statute make no reference to a "sex offender."  Meidinger dissent - non binding.
