Salt Lake City Defense Attorneys - Molestation Charges
The molestation of a child is a very serious charge that carries severe criminal penalties in the state of Utah. If you have been accused of having sexual relations with a minor, you will be charged with sexual abuse of a child, a second degree felony. If you were in a position of trust, you may be charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a child, an aggravated first degree felony.
A second degree felony carries a 1-15 year prison sentence. An aggravated first degree felony carries a minimum sentence of 15 years to life.
