    Speak Up! - View Question #404

    printer friendly version

    Question: What is the punishment of an adult found guilty of consensual sex w/a 15 year old and charged with a class 6 felony?

    Answer:

    It really depends upon what the offense is specifically charged as. This answer assumes it has been charged as sexual conduct with a minor (A.R.S. § 13-1405(B)). If it is a simple class 6 felony, the range of sentencing is 6 months to 1.5 years. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 13-702.01) allows for the prison time to be decreased to 4 months or increased up to 2 years. Probation (up to 3 years) would also be available.

     

    The person also has to register as a sex offender under Arizona law (A.R.S. § 13-3821) if they have pled guilty to the charge or were found guilty at trial. This means in some cases that their community will be notified of the fact that they are a convicted sex offender. For more information about Arizona requirements for notification about sex offenders, see the Arizona Sexual Offender Registry Website.

    You are completely and totally right. People can very easily fall in love having age differences in their relationships. You love someones person, not their age. And as long as there is consent given by the minor why should you get in trouble? Nothing but stupidity.

    i don't think it is fair that two people who love each other be punished. If the minor consents the adult should not be punished!!!
