Sexual abuse of a minor is normally defined as engaging in sexual conduct with a child over the age of 12 years, but under the age of 16 years. The offender must be four years older than the victim for the act to be considered sexual abuse of a minor. This crime is punishable by large fines, prison for up to 15 years, or both. Sexual abuse of a ward is a unique crime involving anyone in a prison, institution, or facility in which individuals are in custody knowingly engaging in sexual conduct with an individual in official detention who is under the offender’s custodial, supervisory, or disciplinary authority. The punishments for this crime may include large fines, imprisonment of up to 15 years, or both. Being convicted of sexual abuse of a minor or ward may also harm your reputation and make it difficult to secure employment in the future. If you want to have a shot at protecting your freedom, you’ll need a lawyer that is dedicated to your case. Your lawyer should have a firm grasp on Michigan sex crime law and experience defending clients in criminal sexual cases that involve minors or wards.

Defending Against Sexual Abuse Charges

When you connect with an attorney from Grabel & Associates, a lawyer will review the details of your case and look for all possible ways to prove your innocence. If they can find evidence, for example, that you reasonably believed the defendant was over 16 years of age or that you were married to the defendant during the reported sexual conduct, they may be able to drastically reduce your sentence or clear your name entirely. It’s important for your lawyer to be focused on your case, because small details may mean the difference between a clean record and 15 years in prison with lifetime registration. You need to hire an attorney that you can trust. He or she should understand what’s at stake in your case and be committed to your wellbeing above all else. Before you select your legal representation, ask to see their proven track record and meet with them in person to determine if they’re a good fit for you.
