Charging Decisions in Criminal Sexual Conduct Cases

Midland Law Enforcement Center-
2727 Rodd. St.
Midland, MI 48640
This training is for Prosecutors only.
Charging sexual assault cases can be challenging and nuanced. This is due to the structure of the statute, nature of the relationships, age of the victim, other aggravating circumstances, underlying felonies, delay in reporting, statute of limitations, lesser offenses, etc. All of these factors need to be considered when reviewing warrants and making charging determinations. Join PAAM’s Violence Against Women Project and the Child Abuse Prosecution Resource Unit for an in-person workshop on charging sexual assault cases. This training will be informational as well as interactive. Participants will be challenged to think about appropriate charging and how it affects the prosecution of the case, from exam to sentencing. Space is limited. A waitlist will be maintained once registration is full. For registration questions or cancellation, please contact our conference coordinator, Katlyn Bolan, at Bolank4@michigan.gov. This training satisfies 4 hours of continuing legal education for purposes of PAAM's Best Practices Recommendations.
