Criminal sexual assault – also known as rape – is one of the most serious sex crimes a person can commit. The offense becomes aggravated criminal sexual assault when committed against a child or other individual unable to give legal consent. The worst of these cases, however, occurs when a person 17 years old or older commits sexual penetration with a child who is 13 years old or younger. This is known as predatory criminal sexual assault and is severely punished under state law (720 ILCS 5/11-1.40).

Circumstances for predatory criminal sexual assault include the display or discharge of a firearm during the commission of the crime; causing bodily injury to the victim that is life-threatening or results in permanent disability; or delivering a controlled substance to the victim against their will, by threat, or through deception. As a Class X felony, a conviction of predatory rape could land you in prison for life. Predatory criminal sexual assault is a sick and terrible crime, but there are still many cases in which an individual is wrongfully accused. This could be due to a case of mistaken identity, or the accusations could have been made out of fear or anger. Whatever the case may be, if you have been arrested for any kind of sex crime, call Okabe & Haushalter for the legal defense that you need.
