Charges of Child Molestation

The penalties for a child molestation conviction are severe. When the victim is under 13, the penalty is a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and registration as a sex offender. This crime is considered first degree criminal sexual conduct.

If the victim is between the ages of 13 and 16 and a member of the same household, charges are also classified as first degree criminal sexual conduct, because the accused is in a position of authority.

Any person accused of child molestation — guilty or not, convicted or not — can suffer emotionally and socially. Society offers little forgiveness to anyone accused of a sex crime - often assuming guilt and ignoring facts and evidence. As criminal defense lawyers, we know the importance of sticking to the facts and thoroughly investigating a case.
