Degrees of Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is classified into three degrees:

• Third Degree: Subjecting another person to unwanted sexual contact. This is a Class B misdemeanor that is punishable by 3 months in jail.
• Second Degree: Sexual abuse of an individual who is incapable of consent (mentally impaired) or who is under 14 years of age. This is a Class A misdemeanor that can result in up to one year in jail.
• First Degree: Sexual abuse against a person who is less than 11 years old, or who is unable to consent due to disabilities. This is a Class D felony, punishable by 7 years in state prison.

No matter which degree you are charged for, all three carry life-changing consequences that may be difficult to recover from. As such, our New York City sexual abuse lawyer will aggressively defend your freedom and work to get your charges minimized or dropped altogether.
