Minnesota Criminal Sexual Conduct Defined

 

Criminal sexual conduct charges, sometimes called “sex crimes,” are some of the most serious and potentially life-changing charges a person can face. Sex crimes generally include the following types of alleged offenses: rape, statutory rape, date rape, child molestation, solicitation of a minor, possession of child pornography, production of child pornography, indecent exposure, prostitution, and solicitation.

 

Degrees of Criminal Sexual Conduct in Minnesota

 

If convicted of a criminal sexual conduct charge, a defendant can face between 1 year in jail and 30 years in prison, depending on the severity level of the alleged offense. In Minnesota, there are five different criminal sexual conduct charges:

 

  • First Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (maximum of 30 years imprisonment and/or a $40,000 fine)
  • Second Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (maximum of 25 years imprisonment and/or a $35,000 fine)
  • Third Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (maximum of 15 years imprisonment and/or a $30,000 fine)
  • Fourth Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (maximum of 10 years imprisonment and/or a $20,000 fine)
  • Fifth Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (maximum of 1 year in jail and/or a $3,000 fine)

 

Criminal sexual conduct charges carry social stigmas that can be difficult to overcome. Due to the sensitivity of a sex crime, a conviction may carry several collateral consequences such as:

 

  • Losing an employment license
  • Losing a job due to a criminal conviction
  • Being barred from certain areas of employment
  • Predatory Offender Registration
  • Restitution
  • Sex offender counseling or treatment
  • Civil commitment
  • Having a smeared reputation

 

Criminal Sexual Conduct Defenses

 

Our criminal sexual conduct defense lawyer understands there are two (or more) sides to every story. Oftentimes allegations are made against a defendant for reasons other than improper conduct, such as revenge or retaliation. Adults and children often lie about an incident, causing tremendous potential consequences for the accused. Sometimes a criminal sexual conduct charge arises from a simple misunderstanding between two consenting persons. We understand that having someone falsely accuse you of a sex crime can be devastating. We are here to help you tell your side of the story and ensure the truth is discovered.
