Sex crime charges in De Pere carry the potential for harsh penalties. If convicted, you could face long-term imprisonment, mandatory sex offender registration, and a permanent criminal record. But even beyond the courtroom, the damage to your reputation, relationships, and livelihood can begin long before a verdict is ever reached.
Wisconsin law enforcement and prosecutors are trained to build their case from the moment an allegation is made. Anything you say or do during that time can be used against you. That’s why it’s wise to involve a defense attorney before talking to police, appearing in court, and before evidence is lost or misunderstood.

Sex crime convictions can follow you for the rest of your life—even after you’ve served your sentence. Felony sex crimes can result in long-term incarceration, sometimes with mandatory minimum sentences. Even after release, you may be subject to extended supervision, including regular check-ins with a probation officer and mandatory treatment programs. Even if you avoid prison time, you may face protective orders.
One of the worst consequences is sex offender registration. Depending on the offense and the alleged victim’s age, you may be required to register for anywhere from several years to the rest of your life. Registration involves severe restrictions. They limit where you can live, work, or travel. The registry information is public, which makes it difficult to rebuild your life after you’ve served your sentence.
In many cases, the damage begins long before a trial ever takes place. A mere accusation can lead to job loss, social isolation, and public presumption of guilt.
J. Kippa Law, LLC, knows that your future means more than avoiding a prison sentence in Brown County. We fight to preserve your reputation, your rights, and your ability to move forward.
How you respond during the investigation and after an arrest can significantly impact your case. Here’s what to do to protect your rights:
Use your right to remain silent: Even if it feels like a casual conversation, anything you say can be used against you. Law enforcement officers may act friendly or imply that talking will help resolve things, but their goal is to collect evidence. Always consult an attorney before answering any questions.
Do not contact the alleged victim: Reaching out, even with good intentions, can result in additional criminal charges. It can also be misinterpreted by prosecutors. They may use this evidence to portray you as aggressive or manipulative. Let your attorney handle all communication related to the case.
Preserve evidence: Your defense may rely on digital or written records that prove your version of events or show a pattern of communication. Save your texts, emails, phone records, social media messages, and posts. Write down your own account of what happened, and include dates, times, and potential witnesses. Don’t delete anything—even if it seems unimportant.
Get legal counsel immediately: Early legal intervention from J. Kippa Law, LLC, can help you avoid self-incrimination. Your attorney can intervene with law enforcement or prosecutors and secure important evidence before it disappears. We’ll also advise you on what to do (and what not to do) at every stage.
