Understand the Law and Get an Experienced Sexual Abuse Attorney on Your Side

If you’re charged with criminal sexual abuse under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.50, it’s crucial to understand the nature of the charges and the potential penalties. Under Illinois law, criminal sexual abuse charges apply when an individual:

  • Commits an act of sexual conduct by the use of force or threat of force.
  • Commits an act of sexual conduct knowing that the victim is unable to understand the nature of the act or is unable to give knowing consent.
  • Commits an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct with a victim who is at least 9 years of age but under 17 years of age, knowing that the individual is under the age of 17.
  • Commits an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct with a victim who is at least 13 years of age but under 17 years of age, and the person is less than 5 years older than the victim.

A charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse may be applied under circumstances such as:

  • Displaying, threatening to use, or using a dangerous weapon.
  • The victim being a child between the ages of 13 and 16.
  • Causing bodily harm to the victim.
  • The victim being 60 years of age or older.
  • The victim being a physically handicapped person.
  • Threatening or endangering the life of the victim or any other person.
  • Committing the criminal sexual abuse during the commission or attempted commission of another felony.
  • Delivering a controlled substance to the victim without their consent or by threat or deception.
