A sexual offense is defined as any alleged crime in which force is used (or the threat of force is used) to sexually exploit another individual. Additionally, a sexual offense may be an alleged crime that violates the social norms, such as polygamy and necrophilia. A sexual offense can be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony crime.
Specific details of the event, along with the accused individual’s criminal history and factors such as whether another individual was injured or killed as a result of the alleged crime will dictate the precise nature of the charge filed.
