Can Sex Offenders Go to Disney Land in California?

Sex offenders are not allowed to go to Disney Land or Disney World because California does not allow sex offenders to go to places that children frequently visit. Disney Land and Disney World reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone at their discretion. Disney Land may even check public records and cancel your one-time tickets or even season pass tickets.

Penalties for Sex Crimes in Victorville

The punishment for a sex crime conviction varies depending on the type of sexual offense committed and the criminal history of the offender. Many sex offenses can land a person in jail for up to 8 years and result in a fine of up to $2,000.

Beyond this, persons convicted of certain sex crimes in the state of California are required to register as a sex offender. This has a direct impact on where the individual may live and work. Also, the information about their conviction will be available to the public.

Defending against Sex Crime Allegations

When fighting sex offense charges, several defenses could be employed, based on the specific circumstances of an individual’s case. The aim of each strategy is to undermine any evidence the prosecution has against the defendant to create reasonable doubt about his or her guilt.

One common way to defend against these charges is to claim that the defendant has been falsely accused. The key to making this type of argument is being able to identify and prove that the victim had a motive for falsely accusing the defendant. There are several cases where a person claims that someone violated them sexually because of spite or jealousy, to avoid the shame of an affair, or to strip the defendant of their child custody rights.

Other common defenses to sex crime charges include:

  • Mistaken identity
  • Misperception of the facts
  • Lack of intent
