The crime of criminal sexual abuse (also known as Criminal Sexual Abuse/Force) under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.50 [1581] [15816] [15817], is one of many different Illinois sex crimes.  Criminal sexual abuse can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the exact nature of the conduct of the alleged offender.  Under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.50, a person is guilty of a felony offense where they commit an act of sexual conduct by use or threat of force. This can result in a sentence of up to 7 years in prison.  The most common misdemeanor version of this charge occurs when a person 17 years or older engages in sexual conduct with a child under 17 years of age but the two individuals are less than 5 years apart in age.  Even the misdemeanor version of criminal sexual abuse under 720 ILCS 5/11-1.50 is serious and can result in the suspect having to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
