It is not possible to properly evalute how a second CSC conviction might turn out. You simply have not provided enough information. Without trying to evaluate your son's case, generally speaking a second conviction for CSC would send a person to prison.

We can work with your son and fight to keep him out of prison. He should call one of our very experienced criminal defense team members right away. We have handled CSC cases throughout the lower peninsula of Michigan with a strong track record. We can be reached at

The "odds" depend on knowing the prosecuting attorney's office handling the case (and that office's past record of handling such CSCs) + knowing who the judge is who sentenced him to HYTA (and would decide whether this new information may cause the court to revoke or reconsider the HYTA status) and the judge that would handle the new case (not necessarily the same one who sentenced him in the first case). The prosecutor would have to evaluate what the public would "get" out of formally prosecuting him for the additional case -- i.e., if the likely sentence was jail time rather than prison the odds would be lower. One important issue is whether the 2nd incident (where she got preganant) happened after he was told to stay away from her (including a pre-trial bond condition of "no contact"). That might sway the prosecutor and judge to treat this more harshly than if it was just a similar incident to the charged CSC that authorities did not know about before he was sentenced to HYTA probation. Not to be too technical here, but this was never a "consensual sex" matter because as someone under 16 years old she had no legal power in Michigan TO "consent". It might have been "voluntary", but consent is a power granted by the Age of Consent law and she had to be 16 to gain that authority.
