Where Are Sex Crimes Tried In Culpeper?

Most sex offense cases start after an arrest and a magistrate’s appearance. You will first appear in the Culpeper General District Court for arraignment, bond hearings, misdemeanor trials and preliminary hearings to determine probable cause. If the judge finds probable cause or the Commonwealth secures an indictment, the case moves to the Culpeper County Circuit Court.

This court handles felony prosecutions, jury trials, plea hearings and sentencing. Penalties can include prison, fines and registration under Virginia sex-offender laws, but we will review venue and procedural options, so you know where your case will be heard and how to respond.
