Arkansas Penalties for Sex Offenses

Sex crimes are prosecuted harshly in Arkansas. Convictions can result in hefty fines and long-term imprisonment. The specific punishment is based on the nature and severity of the offense.

Rape and assault are among the highest penalized sex offenses. Without a skilled advocate on your side, a conviction for rape can result in 40 years or life in prison. Sexual assault in the first degree (a Class A felony) carries a maximum 30-year prison sentence.
