Consequences of a Sex Crime Conviction in Tennessee

A conviction can mean incarceration, significant fines, mandatory probation, restitution, and community service. Beyond sentencing, Tennessee classifies convicted sex offenders as either sexual offenders or violent sexual offenders under the Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Sexual Offender Registration, Verification and Tracking Act of 2004. That classification controls how long a person must remain on the registry and how often they must report: annually for sexual offenders, quarterly for violent sexual offenders. Those classified as violent sexual offenders, anyone with two or more registration-triggering convictions, or anyone whose victim was under 13 must remain on the registry for life. Registered sex offenders also can’t live within 1,000 feet of a school, daycare center, public park, playground, or recreation center under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-211. Violating registry requirements is a Class E felony under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-208, with no eligibility for a suspended sentence, diversion, or probation until the minimum sentence is served.

Why Franklin Clients Choose Larsen Law PLLC for Sex Crime Defense

Eric Larsen’s background in law enforcement and corrections gives this firm a perspective many defense attorneys can’t offer. After nearly a decade in criminal defense, he understands how investigators build sex crime cases, where procedural errors happen, and when constitutional rights violations affect the admissibility of evidence. That knowledge isn’t something that comes from courtroom experience alone.

Sex crime cases often turn on specific details, including the nature of the incident, the relationship between the parties, and the evidence available. We examine every element of a case to identify investigative missteps, improper searches, or procedural failures that could affect the case. Every defense strategy we build is tailored to the facts in front of us.

The firm holds a 10.0 Superb Avvo Rating and an AV Preeminent® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell®, and Eric Larsen has earned recognition in Rising Stars. These reflect the trust we’ve built in the legal community, but what our clients value most is the focused, personal attention they receive from the moment they call.
