You can be charged with Sexually Motivated Felony (NY PL 130.91) in Rochester if prosecutors believe you committed one of a number of specified crimes for the purposes of sexual gratification.
These include stalking, assault, manslaughter, kidnapping, burglary, and a number of other serious offenses, including murder.
Sexually Motivated Felony is a separate charge which will be graded at the same level as the underlying offense, so if you’re charged with Assault in the Second Degree, a D felony, then the Sexually Motivated Felony charge will also be a D felony, and you’ll face between two and seven years for each count.
If the underlying crime is a violent felony offense, then the Sexually Motivated Felony will also be deemed a violent felony offense, with harsher penalties in play if you’re convicted.
