Juvenile Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) Laws in Ann Arbor, MI

According to Ann Arbor sex crime laws, there are 4 degree of Criminal Sexual Conduct charges that an offender can face. These are each outlined below.

1st degree CSC occurs when sexual penetration takes place with a minor under the age of 13. It can also result in cases involving a juvenile under the age of 16, if force, coercion, family relation, or other extenuating circumstances are present. 2nd degree CSC has the same guidelines, but rather than sexual penetration occurring, any other sexual conduct must be present in the case.

3rd degree CSC occurs in cases involving sexual penetration with a minor under 16 years of age. If extenuating circumstances exist, CSC in the 3rd degree can result from sexual penetration regardless of age. In order for a 4th degree conviction to result, sexual contact other than penetration must occur.

Even if the alleged offender is also under the age of 17, or if the two offenders are the same age, these serious criminal charges can result. While police and prosecutors are more likely to send a case to juvenile court if it involves two minors in a consensual relationship, repeat offenders and those involved in cases with extenuating circumstances such as alleged rape could be sentenced as adults. Work with Grabel & Associates and protect against the serious potential penalties that could result.
