Criminal Sexual Conduct charges include a range of crimes including rape, pornography, child abuse, date rape, child pornography, prostitution, sexual abuse and sexual harassment.

Sexual activity with a person who is younger than the age at which they are legally considered able to give consent for sexual activity is known as statutory rape. Sexual contact that involves a non-consenting party is referred to as sexual assault. The reason for non-consent may include an inability to give consent due to intoxication or physical/mental incapacity.

In additional, individuals may be accused of sexual assault if they are in a position of trust (such as a teacher or doctor) at the time of the alleged sexual assault. An accusation of sexual assault can tarnish the person’s reputation in the community and lead to serious social and professional consequences, even if the sexual assault charges are later dropped.

There are varying degrees of sexual assault, and the specifics can vary by state. In general, lesser degrees of sexual assault include statutory rape, while the more serious forms of sexual assault involve non-consensual sexual penetration, particularly involving children, the elderly or the handicapped. The sentences for individuals convicted of sexual assault can range from probation to lengthy prison time.
