Understanding Sexual Assault Charges in South Carolina
Sexual assault charges in South Carolina are extremely serious. Sexual assault is a criminal offense that involves unwanted sexual advances or sexual contact with another person without their consent. The penalties for sexual assault can be severe and include jail time, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record.
In South Carolina, sexual assault is a criminal offense that is broken into three categories: simple sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, and sexual battery. Sexual assault charges can be elevated to aggravated sexual assault or sexual battery depending on the circumstances of the offense.
Sexual assault charges can include:
- Rape
- Statutory rape
- Sexual battery
- Aggravated sexual assault
In most cases, sexual assault charges are elevated to aggravated sexual assault if the alleged victim is a minor. Aggravated sexual assault is a felony offense that involves sexual penetration with a minor or a person who is mentally incapacitated or physically helpless.
Sexual assault charges can also be elevated to sexual battery if the alleged victim is an adult and the alleged offender used physical force against the alleged victim. Sexual battery is a misdemeanor offense that involves unwanted sexual contact with an adult.
