What Are Considered Aggravated Sex Crimes?
Certain factors can "aggravate" a sex crime, leading to more severe legal consequences upon conviction. These aggravating factors can increase the severity of the offense and the resulting penalties.
If force or violence was used during the commission of the sex crime, it can elevate the offense to a more severe level. Sex crimes involving victims who are minors or individuals unable to consent due to age are often considered more serious and carry harsher penalties.
If the perpetrator holds a position of authority over the victim, such as a teacher, coach, or caregiver, the offense may be aggravated due to the abuse of power involved. Prior convictions for similar offenses can aggravate a current sex crime allegation and lead to increased penalties.
If the sex crime results in serious physical harm to the victim, or if the use of weapons occurs, it can aggravate the offense and result in harsher consequences. Cases involving multiple victims or instances of the same offense can also be aggravated. Exploiting the victim for financial gain, trafficking purposes, or other forms of exploitation can additionally elevate a sex crime charge.
