- A second degree felony: if the victim was under 12 and the perpetrator was under 18 or if the victim was between the ages of 12 and 16 and the perpetrator was over 18.
- A third degree felony: if the victim was between 12 and 16 and the perpetrator was under 18.
Even if you are simply a first time offender, if you are charged with a life felony, you could face a maximum sentence of life in prison or a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years in prison in addition to a lifetime of probation.
