Child molestation and sex abuse of a minor are grouped together with other sex offenses under criminal sexual conduct laws. In the state of Michigan, there are four distinct degrees of criminal sexual conduct, or CSC, each varying in severity. The most serious, 1st degree CSC, occurs when an individual engages in sexual penetration with a child under the age of 13, or with a child under the age of 16 when other mitigating factors such as a familial relationship or teacher-student relationship are present. When the persons involved are the same but sexual contact alone without penetration occurs, 2nd degree CSC charges may result. In cases where mitigating factors are not present, sexual penetration with a child under the age of 16 can lead to 3rd degree CSC charges, while sexual contact with a minor under the age of 16 can lead to 4th degree CSC charges.
All criminal sexual conduct cases are very serious, and run the risk of possible jail time, fines, and sex offender registration, along with other serious penalties. Anyone facing false allegations of CSC in Southfield should contact an experienced legal representative as soon as possible, and begin to fight for a beneficial case result.
If convicted of 1st degree CSC, up to life in prison will be on the line. For 2nd and 3rd degree CSC, up to 15 years behind bars and possible electronic monitoring are on the table. 4th degree CSC can lead to a fine and up to 2 years in prison. Always consult a lawyer before taking any action in your sex crime case.
