e.g in the military or on an Indian reservation are two most common types
I don't think the President can pardon state crimes
Better chance of giving pardons for the entire prison population at Florence ADX before a sex offender getting one
If Trump is elected, every sex offender has a chance.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1915 that accepting a pardon is also an admission of guilt of the original crime. A sex offender might then be better off taking their lumps and professing their innocence.
What happened to our country?We the people need to get this overpaid asses out of offices.Overpaid campaigns.

OP, apply to the Governor of your state or the Board of Pardons and Parole if you're in TX. As another member pointed out, sex crimes are NOT federal crimes (in most cases) they are state crimes. The President does not have the authority to pardon state crimes, the Governor of your state has that authority.

SJ, you want to cite some authority on the President's authority to pardon state crimes?
