Sexual battery is a Class A1 misdemeanor which carries at least 100 days in jail. However, the jail punishment is typically not the biggest concern for people charged with this crime. If you are convicted of this crime, you will have to register as a sex offender. The sex offender registry would be required for 30 years with eligibility to get off of the registry sooner. Since this crime is a sex offense, it is considered the most serious misdemeanor charge in North Carolina by defense attorneys. It is extremely important that you understand the serious nature and consequences of these charges and contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
