Maryland Sexual Abuse Lawyer Montgomery Howard Baltimore County

Any kind of sexual activity that a person disagrees with falls under the spectrum of sexual abuse or sexual assault. For those who are the victims of such a crime, especially for children, emotional and psychological consequences can be a source of pain and distress for years, perhaps for the rest of their lives.
As a result, you can count on the state of Maryland to rigorously investigate and prosecute allegations of sexual abuse or sexual assault. If you are charged with any of these crimes in Maryland, you must use the services of a sex crime lawyer in Maryland to protect your rights throughout the trial and to provide you with a strong defense against the Maryland sex crimes charges you face.

Sexual Abuse Laws In The State Of Maryland

Maryland Section 3-602 regulates the sexual abuse of a minor by a family or household member. In this law, sexual abuse per Maryland is defined as any act of abusing or carnally exploiting a minor, regardless of whether or not there is a personal injury. This includes (but is not limited to) incest, rape, sexual insult to any extent, sodomy and unnatural or perverse carnal practices.
A family member within the meaning of Maryland Penal Section 3-602 may be a parent or other person who is responsible for the temporary or permanent guardianship of the minor child. Any other adult member of the household can also qualify if it commits the crimes described above. Carnal abuse of a minor is a crime and is punishable by imprisonment of up to 25 years. These long prison sentences are another important reason why you should consult a Maryland sex crimes lawyer when confronted with such charges.
While all sex offenses against children in the state of Maryland are being seriously persecuted, the offenses committed by parents, guardians, or other adults who the child trusts carry an additional level of guilt. This is reflected in the provision that allows successive sentencing.
Any member of the family or household member who carnally abuses a minor is convicted of this crime in addition to other penalties that may be incurred as a result of the execution of the original act that caused the abuse. For example, offenders who commit a sex crime when they have custody of the minor may be punished for both the sex crime and the sex crime against the minor. All prison sentences that the person receives as a result can be imposed concurrently or consecutively.
