Statewide Advocacy for Clients Charged with Sex Crimes in Michigan
Facing sex crime charges in Michigan is one of the most serious and life-changing legal challenges anyone can experience. Convictions often carry long prison sentences, heavy fines, and the devastating requirement to register as a sex offender, in turn impacting your ability to find work, secure housing, or even travel freely for the rest of your life.
At Mamat Law, our team of experienced Michigan sex crime defense lawyers represents clients in every county and court across the state, from Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb to Kent, Genesee, Ingham, Washtenaw, and beyond.
We know these cases are about more than legal strategy, they’re about protecting your entire future. That’s why we take a relentless, thorough approach to defending you at every stage of the criminal process, challenging evidence, exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and fighting to secure the best possible outcome.
Understanding Michigan’s Criminal Sexual Conduct Charges
Michigan’s sex crime laws classify Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) offenses into four main degrees. Each degree carries different definitions, severity levels, and penalties. Here’s what you need to know:
Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree (CSC I)
- The most severe sexual offense in Michigan.
- Involves sexual penetration with aggravating circumstances, such as:
- Victim under 13 years old.
- Victim aged 13–16 with a special relationship (family member, authority figure, same household).
- Use of a weapon or physical injury.
- During another felony (kidnapping, robbery).
- Penalty: Life imprisonment, with possible lifetime electronic monitoring.
How Mamat Law Helps Fight Sexual Conduct Charges: We investigate every detail to challenge age claims, consent, forensic evidence, and alleged force or coercion. We work to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence and question every aspect of the state’s case to fight for dismissal, acquittal, or charge reduction.
Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Second Degree
- Involves sexual contact (not penetration) with aggravating factors similar to CSC I.
- Examples include touching intimate parts for sexual purposes when the victim is underage, incapacitated, or under authority or trust.
- Penalty: Up to 15 years in prison and potential lifetime electronic monitoring.
We challenge intent, the nature of contact, witness credibility, and forensic or digital evidence. Our goal is to dismantle the prosecution’s claims and prevent your life from being destroyed over allegations that may be misunderstood or exaggerated.
Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Third Degree
- Involves sexual penetration without the aggravated elements of CSC I but still under serious conditions:
- Victim aged 13–16.
- Use of force or coercion.
- Victim mentally incapacitated or physically helpless.
- Penalty: Up to 15 years in prison.
Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Fourth Degree
- Covers sexual contact with fewer aggravating factors.
- Examples include unwanted sexual touching without penetration, typically involving victims aged 13–16 or accomplished through coercion.
- Penalty: Misdemeanor punishable by up to 2 years in prison.
We aggressively pursue dismissal of these charges or negotiate alternatives that minimize the damage to your record, reputation, and freedom.
Sex Crimes in Michigan
Beyond CSC charges, Mamat Law also defends clients across Michigan accused of a wide range of sex crimes, including:
Child Sexually Abusive Activity or Material
- Possession, distribution, or production of child sexual imagery.
- Harsh federal and state penalties, often with mandatory minimum sentences.
- We fight accusations by challenging digital forensics, questioning intent, and exploring defenses such as lack of knowledge or third-party access.
Child Molestation and Other Crimes Against Minors
- Charges often depend on age differences, consent laws, and special relationship status.
- We scrutinize every detail of the alleged incident and the accuser’s credibility.
Sex Abuse by Teachers or Authority Figures
- Special penalties for those in positions of power.
- We challenge allegations that may be motivated by bias, revenge, or misunderstanding.
Sexual Assault / Rape
- Charges range from forcible rape to date rape allegations.
- We aggressively challenge physical evidence, witness testimony, and the circumstances of consent.
Indecent Exposure, Prostitution, and Solicitation
- Often charged as misdemeanors but can carry harsh penalties, probation, or registration.
- We negotiate reduced charges or dismissals wherever possible.
The Sex Offender Registry in Michigan
One of the most devastating consequences of a sex crime conviction is mandatory registration. Michigan law divides offenders into Tier I, II, or III classifications, which determine:
- How long you must register (15 years, 25 years, or lifetime).
- How often you must update your registration.
- Restrictions on living and working near schools or child care facilities.
- Public visibility of your personal information and photo online.
At Mamat Law, we explain every requirement, help you understand your legal obligations, and, if eligible, pursue removal from the registry through court petitions.
Lifetime Electronic Monitoring
Certain convictions, especially those involving minors or aggravated CSC charges, can require lifetime GPS monitoring. This invasive punishment tracks your location 24/7 and severely restricts your freedom. We fight aggressively to avoid convictions that trigger monitoring and minimize these harsh consequences.
Defense Strategies for Michigan Sex Crime Cases
Sex crime accusations are uniquely challenging. Jurors often have strong emotions, and prosecutors aggressively pursue these charges. At Mamat Law, we develop customized, strategic defenses such as:
- Consent: Showing the encounter was consensual and lawful.
- Mistaken Identity: Challenging the accuser’s identification or testimony.
- False Accusations: Exposing ulterior motives like custody disputes or revenge.
- Forensic Evidence: Questioning DNA results, medical exams, or digital communications.
- Constitutional Violations: Moving to suppress illegally obtained evidence or confessions.
- Challenging Police Procedures: Highlighting errors in investigations or interrogations.
- Negotiated Reductions: Securing plea deals that avoid lifetime registration or prison.
We know your reputation, freedom, and entire life are on the line. That’s why we fight every step of the way to secure the best outcome.
