Having sex (consensual or otherwise) with someone under 12 is rape in the first degree, a Class A felony, sentenced to 20-50 years or life. An adult having sex (consensual or otherwise) with someone under 14 is rape in the second degree, a Class C felony, sentenced to 5-10 years. For an adult 21 or over to have sex with someone less than 16 years old is rape in the third degree, a Class D felony, sentenced to 1-5 years. Also, if the person commited "deviate sexual activity," which is anything other than vaginal intercourse, the person would also be charged with sodomy in the same degree, which is the same class of felony.

any felony is serious, A means there is violence to another person, or persons, IE: murder, arson, manslaughter and so on. Class C is most often a crime against property, like auto theft, some traffic violations, are any crime that does not have violence involved with them. Your friend is in trouble, some states like Oregon, California or Washington can send you to jail for life after three felonies no matter what class they are....looking for new friends might be a good pass time..

Each felony has it's own guidelines for recommended or mandatory punishments.  The classes of a felony serve only to group them based on the severity of the crime and doesn't provide any real guideline for sentencing.

Yes, but it will have to depend on the crime and the time frame, for example a dui would be a 2nd degree MM, and second DUI in 5 years will bump it up to a 1st degree MM, and  a third will make it a 3rd degree felony.        Check your local statutes book, boring reading, but you will find your answer.

Felony crimes are those which carry prison sentences, as opposed to the jail sentences carried by misdemeanors.  On property crimes, felonies are usually based on higher dollar ammounts (e.g. $1,000.00 and above), or involve certain items as deinfed by the penal code.  On violent crimes, felonies are based on the use of deadly force to cause death or severe injury.  In any case, you are strongly advised to consult your state's penal code for particular crimes and penalty degrees.

In Missouri a second degree assault is considered a class C felony.  The punishment is "not to exceed 7 years."  So basically the maximum prison sentence is 7 years.  As it is a first offense they probably won't seek the maximum.  There is always the chance that you'll have a good judge, or that the DA will offer you a plea bargain.  GOOD LUCK!

Just because someone is convicted of a felony does not mean the conviction counts as a strike.  Not all felonies are strikes so ignore all the three-strike/life in prison stuff you're reading here.  \n\nIn California, only serious felonies as defined in 1192.7 PC and violent felonies as defined in 667.5 PC are considered strikes (there are some juvenile adjudications that are considered strikes, but they're basically the kiddy versions of 1192.7 and 667.5).  Lucky for crooks, that still leaves a lot of felonies that aren't considered strikes.\n\nIt's just not possible to answer your question without knowing an awful lot more than what you've provided here.  There's probably more questions about your question than there's room for here.  It isn't as if 15 felonies always equals a certain amount of years in prison...there are many, many variables that will have some bearing on the outcome and nobody here knows what the facts are surrounding what you're talking about.

Penal Code § 12.21 (2005):\nAn individual adjudged guilty of a Class A misdemeanor shall be punished by: \n(1) a fine not to exceed $ 4,000; \n(2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year; or \n(3) both such fine and confinement.\nWhile, Tex.

A felony, in many common law legal systems, is the term for a "very serious" crime, whereas misdemeanors are considered to be less serious offenses.\n\nCrimes which are commonly considered to be felonies include, but are not limited to: aggravated assault, arson, burglary, murder, and rape. Those who are convicted of a felony are known as felons. Originally, felonies were crimes for which the punishment was either death or forfeiture of property. Nowadays, felons can receive punishments which range in severity; from probation, to imprisonment, to execution. In the United States felons often receive additional punishments such as the loss of voting rights, exclusion from certain lines of work, prohibition from obtaining certain licenses, exclusion from purchase/possession of firearms or ammunition, and ineligibility to run for or be elected to public office. In addition, some states consider a felony conviction to be grounds for an uncontested divorce.
