3rd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct Laws and Charges

Criminal sexual conduct in the 3rd degree only occurs when actual sexual penetration is part of the alleged offense. In cases involving sexual contact alone, 2nd or 4th degree CSC charges can result, dependent on the specifics of the situation.

Section 750.520d deals with 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct in Kalamazoo. According to this legislation, a person is guilty of felony 3rd degree CSC if he or she engages in sexual penetration, and at least one of the following conditions exists in the case.

  • The alleged victim is under 13 years old.
  • The actor allegedly uses force or coercion to accomplish the sexual act.
  • The alleged victim is mentally incapacitated, mentally incapable, or physically helpless and the alleged actor knows or has reason to know this.
  • The alleged actor and victim are related by blood or marriage, up to the 3rd degree.
  • The alleged victim is under 18 years old and is a student in the school or district where the actor is a teacher, sub, or administrator (unless the other person is emancipated or the two are legally married.)
  • The alleged victim is under 18 and the alleged actor is an employee or contractual service provider of the school or district where the alleged victim is enrolled, and this status is utilized to gain access to the alleged victim.
  • The alleged victim is under 26 and receiving special education services in the school or district where the alleged actor works or volunteers. Foster home and child care organization employees and volunteers are also subject to this legislation in certain situations.
