Criminal Sexual Conduct

Criminal sexual conduct is an offense that is extremely serious, which means it is very aggressively prosecuted in Minnesota. If you or a loved one has been accused of a sex crime, it is imperative to speak with a Duluth criminal sexual conduct lawyer as soon as possible. Having the proper representation can make a significant difference in your case.

Even if you don’t feel that you can avoid conviction, having an attorney representing you can lead to a better outcome in the case.

There are different types of sex offenses. The type that is alleged to have occurred will determine the exact charge. The following are the different types of sex crimes:

• Rape
• Statutory rape
• Child molestation
• Date rape
• Solicitation of a minor
• Possession or creation of child pornography
• Indecent exposure
• Prostitution
• Internet sex crimes (sex chat with a minor, emailing child porn, etc.)

These offenses fall within five degrees. The degree a person is charged with depends on the crime, the age of the victim if the victim was physically hurt during the commission of the crime if a weapon was used, if the defendant is in a position of power, and if the victim was a vulnerable person.

Regardless of why you have been charged, you have rights and those rights need to be protected. You also have a future that you want to get the most out of.
