Sex Crimes
A sex offense is about as serious as it gets. The mere allegation can ruin a person's life, let alone the spectacle of an arrest and a trial, and then the punishment if convicted. However, the state must prove its case and it is possible to fight the charges or mitigate the damage.
I'm Marc Hart. My law firm is devoted exclusively to defending people who have been accused of or charged with committing a crime. As a former prosecuting attorney, I now bring over 36 years of criminal courtroom experience to the defense of every one of my clients in courts throughout Michigan.
Rather than just going for the quick and easy plea, I vigorously fight the allegations, go for the win at trial, or find the leverage necessary to minimize the penalties and consequences in every client’s case. |

What are the Legal Penalties for Sexual Assault?
The punishment for criminal sexual conduct in the first degree is a life sentence, and for second- or third-degree CSC up to 15 years in prison. Under a new Michigan law, a person age 18 or over who has sex or sexual contact with a person under age 13 is subject to a mandatory sentence of 25 years.
Even lesser sex offenses can carry prison time and the stigma and hardships of registering as a sex offender. When contacted early in a case, Mr. Hart can sometimes avoid the most serious charges or avert a public arrest by intervening with the prosecutor. He also knows how to assert defenses and mitigating factors to prevent a conviction or the harshest consequences.
Marc Hart began his career as a prosecutor in Wayne County. As a member of the elite PROB unit, he prosecuted some of the most complex and notorious cases, such as the case of a serial rapist. The same skills that helped him build a strong argument for conviction enable him to analyze sex crime allegations and find the weaknesses in the prosecution's case to prevent a guilty verdict.
