Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) in Michigan

Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC)

Criminal sexual conduct (CSC) in Michigan refers to a range of sexual offenses that vary in severity based on factors like the nature of the act, the age of the victim, and whether force or coercion was involved.

Michigan law categorizes CSC into four degrees:

First-degree CSC involves sexual penetration and occurs in cases such as those involving minors under 13, victims incapacitated or helpless, or acts involving force or coercion. It is the most serious and can result in life imprisonment.

Second-degree CSC involves sexual contact, rather than penetration, under similar circumstances as CSC I, carrying penalties of up to 15 years in prison.

Third-degree CSC involves sexual penetration through force, coercion, or with victims aged 13-16, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Fourth-degree CSC involves sexual contact through force, coercion, or with minors aged 13-16, and is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 2 years in prison.

But wait there’s more… There is more than just the threat of jail time that comes with these charges.  There’s also different types and definitions such as CSC consent, false accusations, legal defense strategies and more. See links below.
