Most Illinois residents are not familiar with the offense of aggravated criminal sexual abuse (also known as Agg Crim Sex Abuse/VIC 13-17) under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.60 [15825] [1581] [1582] [15830]. This legal term is the official name for what is often referred to as statutory rape. The charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse is used when a person 17 years old or older commits certain sex acts with a child between the ages of 13 and 16 and the suspect is at least 5 years older than the child. This is a very serious offense in Illinois as it is punishable by a prison sentence of up to 7 years and a fine of up to $25,000 under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.60. In addition to the risk of prison, a person convicted of this offense must register as a sex offender for life. The combination of possible punishments available for this sex crime makes it devastating for a suspect and their family.
