Many Chicago area residents may not be familiar with the phrase aggravated criminal sexual assault (also known as Agg Crim Sex Assault) under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.30 [1579] [1580] [15806]. This legal term represents the charge of rape in its most serious form. The offense of aggravated criminal sexual assault describes crimes where a criminal defendant is charged with committing an act or acts of sexual penetration by use of force or the threat of force and either used a weapon or caused serious injury to the victim. This crime is different than other sex crimes based primarily on the age of the suspect and victim. Individuals charged under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.30 [1579] must defend an accusation that the crime victim did not consent to the particular sex act or acts and that they actually injured the victim or used a weapon to effectuate the rape. Common sense would suggest that aggravated criminal sexual assault is an extremely serious crime in Chicago and the suburbs. The sentence range for this type of crime is 6-30 years in the Illinois Department of Correcti0ns. If the suspect is convicted of multiple counts, they may actually receive a sentence of up to 120 years in prison.
