Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC). Sexual Assault
Sexual assault charges in Michigan, including Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC), are among the most serious criminal allegations. Convictions can lead to long-term imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, loss of employment, and lifelong stigma.
CSC charges are divided into four degrees, depending on the nature of the act, alleged victim’s age, and use of force or coercion. Even an accusation can have devastating personal and professional consequences.
