Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) in Michigan: Fourth Degree

Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) is a set of laws in Michigan that define and penalize various forms of sexual offenses.

These laws are categorized into four degrees, with each degree reflecting the severity of the crime.

The Michigan Penal Code specifies these offenses, found under the Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL), and each degree has different elements and penalties.

Fourth-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (MCL 750.520e)

Fourth-degree CSC is the least severe and involves sexual contact without penetration. It can include unwanted touching and occurs under circumstances like:

  • The victim is between 13 and 16, and the offender is at least five years older.
  • The offender uses force or coercion.

Penalties: A conviction for fourth-degree CSC can result in up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $500.
