- Sexual exploitation of a child: Child pornography-related crimes with severe prison sentences and lifelong registration.
- Human trafficking: Coercive exploitation resulting in lengthy prison terms and significant reputational damage.

How Are The Procedures For Federal Sex Crimes Different From State Level?
Sex offenses are handled differently at the federal level compared to the state level. Some key differences include:
- Federal sex crimes are prosecuted in federal courts, while state-level offenses are tried in state courts.
- Federal cases involve multiple agencies, like the FBI, while state-level cases are handled by local law enforcement.
- Federal convictions generally carry harsher penalties, including longer prison sentences.
- Federal and state sex offenders must register, but the federal registry is maintained by the FBI and accessible nationwide.
