Michigan Sex Offender Legal Defense

If you’ve been accused of a sex crime, it can feel as if no one’s on your side. However, you do have a voice, and you do have options. Rights First Law can present your case and make sure you are not presumed guilty before the evidence is heard. Though public opinion may turn against you, Rights First Law can protect your rights and aggressively fight for your best interests.

Sentencing for Criminal Sexual Conduct

The severity of a sex crime charge is denoted by degree. First-degree charges are more serious than second-, third-, or fourth-degree charges, and are likely to incur a more severe penalty.

The following are the maximum sentences for sex crime convictions:

• First degree — Life sentence, especially for a subsequent conviction or crime committed against a child aged 13 or younger
• Second degree — Up to 15 years in prison
• Third degree — Up to 15 years in prison
• Fourth degree — Up to 2 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $500

If you are an adult convicted of criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree in Michigan, you will also be sentenced to lifetime electronic monitoring.

Sex Offender Registry

The sex offender registry is online database that has your name, age, distinguishing characteristics and details about the crime that you were convicted of. Having to register as a sex offender can have lifelong consequences, making it very difficult finding places to work, live and more. This is why you should contact a sex crime attorney from Rights Law.
