I am under the impression that, in the United Kingdom, these offences are normally referred as "sexual offences" rather than "sex crimes". That is certainly the technical nomenclature. I suspect that "sex crimes" is an Americanism. Some of them do not involve actual intercourse, so the name is potentially misleading. Perhaps this category should be moved.
