Probation for a sex offense is substantially different from probation for any other type of offense – and significantly more demanding of the individual on probation.
There are standard terms and conditions for sex offender probation, although the court does have authority to add additional conditions or take away conditions. Standard terms of sex offender probation prohibit the offender from doing any of the following:
Physical, verbal or electronic contact with the victim(s) in any way, including third-party communications;
entering onto premises, traveling past, or loitering near the victim’s residence, place of work, or other places frequented by the victim;
dating, befriending or marrying anyone who has children under the age of 18;
accessing or loitering near school yards, parks, arcades, playgrounds, amusement parks, or other places primarily frequented by children;
participating in any volunteer activity that involves contact with children;
possessing any pornographic, sexually oriented or sexually stimulating materials, including visual, auditory, telephonic, electronic and computer media;
drinking or possessing alcohol;
changing treatment programs without the approval of the supervising officer; and
living anywhere not approved in advance by the supervising officer.
Further, the offender’s living arrangement must be approved by his probation officer, and some offenders are subject to GPS monitoring while on probation. If the offender has children, he will at least initially be prevented from having any contact with his own children, even if his case did not involve a child. Even if contact with one’s own children is permitted, contact with other children may still be restricted.
In Colorado, the law permits self-defense, but only under specific conditions. What begins as a self-protection claim can easily spiral into a criminal charge if the facts are misread or misrepresented. That’s why understanding how self-defense is treated under Colorado law can be the key to protecting your freedom.
At the Law Office of Kimberly Diego, we’ve represented clients in cases where force was used for one reason only: survival.
If you or a loved one is facing a challenging situation regarding the Colorado Red Flag Law, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help. The Colorado Red Flag Law allows for the temporary seizure of firearms from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others. This delicate legal matter requires a strong and experienced defense.
When carrying the weight of a criminal record, it doesn’t just sit in the background. It shows up in places that matter – job applications, apartment hunting, and even volunteer opportunities. If you’ve served your sentence, completed probation, or had your case dismissed, it’s fair to wonder whether Colorado allows you to clear the slate. The answer is yes, but not always – and not without strategy.
