⚖️ Texas Law — Charge Details
2–20 years in prison + up to $10,000 fine
Sexual Assault of a Child under Texas Penal Code § 22.011(a)(2) applies when a person intentionally or knowingly causes the penetration or sexual contact of a child younger than 17 years of age, regardless of whether the defendant knew the age of the child. It is a Second-Degree Felony punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. If the victim is younger than 14, the offense is prosecuted as Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under § 22.021, a First-Degree Felony. The charge also elevates to a First-Degree Felony when the defendant could not have legally married the victim or has a prior sex-offense conviction. Conviction requires lifetime sex offender registration and carries severe collateral consequences.
