CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF MINOR

Virginia law defines the acts that are punishable under Virginia Code § 18.2-63. If you or a loved one is charged with any of the acts listed under Virginia Code § 18.2-63 for the sex offense of carnal knowledge of a minor, it is critical that you consult with an experienced sex crime attorney to try to develop winning defenses for your case. An experienced sex crime attorney will examine the facts of your case to determine whether your alleged act falls within the scope of the statute that criminalizes carnal knowledge of a minor. The statute imposes different punishments based on the age of the accused and the age of the victim. If there is no force involved and the age of the victim is between 13 to 15 years, the offense is considered a class 4 felony. Also, if an accused who is a minor has consensual sexual intercourse with another minor whose age is younger than the accused by three years, the offense is punishable as a class 6 felony. If the consenting child is less than three years younger than the accused, the offense is punishable as a class 4 misdemeanor.
