    Default CSC Charge

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    The monster in question was charged on a 3rd degree CSC.

    I was told that contributing to the deliquency of a minor would also be a charge but at arraignment, it was not. Just the 3rd degree CSC.

    Pre-trial is this week, can charges be added for one and two, can I insist that they are?

    If I can, do I request it from the prosecutor or the police department?

    Thank you.

    . a very serious charge. Up to 15 years in prison

    they charge what they believe is proper

    for one and two what?

    If youare speaking of 1st or 2nd degree CSC, there are definitions of each statute and a person is charged with what the prosecutor believes is the proper charge based upon the facts



    If I can, do I request it from the prosecutor or the police department?
    No. You do not get to request, demand, or insist on what is charged. It is up to the DA to decide. As long as the DA has all the pertinent facts, I would suggest they know what they are doing and have charged the appropriate crime.

    The fact that a 13 year old, an 11 year old and a 10 year old were all given alcohol and encouraged to drink, the oldest one being so intoxicated, the crime occured, I think I'm within my rights to feel there should have been additional charges, charges I was TOLD were going to be charged.

    I know about the counts, I meant as in for number one and then for number two........sorry, sounds right in my head

    I wasn't being demanding, I was going on what I was told by the detective making the report. Contributing to the deliquency of a minor was going to be one of the charges. Now it is not. Can additional charges be added down the road or not?
    Thank you for your reply.

    that sounds pretty demanding to me.

    the detective does not decide what the charges are. He makes a report and forwards it to the DA who decides what charges are appropriate.

    Can additional charges be added down the road or not?
    charges can be placed as long as within the SoL for bringing the charges. The point being though is they have placed the charges they feel are relevent. I would doubt there will be any other charges unless additional information supports additional charges.

    Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, under MCL 750.145, is a 90-day misdemeanor. Minor charges are often not prosecuted when the defendant is facing vastly more serious felony charges.

    THIS is the post I wished to update. This person broke probation 11 days after being released from a 1 year jail sentence on a crime against my minor.

    In the meantime, another victim came forth.

    Both cases were combined, he took a plea and is currently serving 4-15 years in PRISON.

    We fully expect for there to be more victims. He potentially (per statements from P.A.) could have 100's of victims across the country. Thank you for your advice throughout this ordeal. Justice won!
