These and many more questions will be answered by our criminal law experts. No matter your situation, we encourage you to contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Sex Offender Registry and Statutory Rape

  • What is the Sex Offender Registry? Depending on the nature of your charge, a conviction can mean registering with state and local authorities as a sex offender. This registration, along with scheduled visits by law enforcement, is a way for law enforcement to keep track of registered sex offenders. Failure to register is a crime.
  • What is statutory rape? Statutory rape is sexual intercourse between an adult (17 years of age or older) and an individual younger than the age of consent, which is Michigan is 16 years of age. Even if the underage person consented to the sexual contact, the defendant may be convicted of statutory rape because, essentially, the younger individual was not old enough to “legally” consent to having sex.
