What is Child Molestation?

Child molestation is a criminal offense that essentially involves inappropriate sexual conduct with a child. This may be limited to intimate touching or fondling or may extend to intercourse. Depending on the particular case, child molestation may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. In serious cases, however, a defendant can expect to face felony charges and mandatory sex offender registration for life if convicted.
