Child Molestation

Child Molestation
What is Child Molestation?
Child molestation refers to the act of sexually touching a child that is 13 years of age or younger for one's own sexual gratification. A child molester is any older child or adult who touches a child for his or her own sexual gratification. Being accused of child molestation is a serious criminal charge. By getting convicted of child molestation, you have to deal with the stigma of neighborhood notification laws and national sex offender registries. A child molestation conviction includes jail time, prison time, fines, mandatory classes, parole and probation.
