What is second-degree sex offence?

Each state defines their crimes differently, so it's impossible to say exactly what the charge is without knowing the state. How sure the state is that it happened is irrelevant. A first degree sex offence might involve using force and a weapon, while second degree would be using force but no weapon. Or first degree could be intercourse with a child under a certain age (say 9) and second degree intercourse with a child between that age and the age of consent (say 9-16). Again, it depends entirely on the state.\n\nEdit: In North Carolina a second degree sexual offense is when the person engages in a "sexaul act" (which they define as "cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus, or anal intercourse, but does not include vaginal intercourse. Sexual act also means the penetration, however slight, by any object into the genital or anal opening of another person's body.") with someone by force and against their will or with someone who is "mentally disabled, mentally incapacitated, or physically helpless" and the person knew or reasonably should have known so. It is a Class C felony, typically punishable as a first offense by 58-73 months.

What this is called exactly depends on the statutes in the state, and what the authorities will do depends on a lot of things, but all that stuff doesn't matter. \n\nWhat's obvious to everyone is that this is and should be criminal behavior. \n\nWhat's not so obvious is that if the victim doesn't report it now, she's setting up the next victim.  \n\nThink he'll stop at a handjob next time?

How can someone commit burglary and grand larceny in the 2nd degree? Is it one of those situations where, for instance, a person was driving a vehicle that he didn't know was stolen? Is that 2nd degree?

The age of consent in Maryland is 16, so generally, the scenario you describe isn't illegal; however, there may be exclusions for a person "in a position of authority", particularly school employees.  Checking the statute now..\n\nUpdate:  There doesn't seem to be any exclusion for "position of authority"; however, under § 3-322, "Unnatural or perverted sexual practice", performing oral sex *IS* a crime in Maryland! "A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $1,000 or both."\n\nNote that, as wrong as it sounds, under § 3-318, the 37yo woman/15yo boy situation is legal. "In general.- Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, a person may not be prosecuted under § 3-303, § 3-304, § 3-307, or § 3-308 of this subtitle for a crime against a victim who was the person's legal spouse at the time of the alleged rape or sexual offense. "

That depends on the crime.  Usually, there is no enhancement for a second offense, but a judge takes it into consideration on punishment.  Certain offenses, such as drunk driving and DWLS, carry additional penalties for a second and subsequent offense within a certain number of years.  So, for example, an OWI 2nd within 7 years raises the penalty from a 93 day misdemeanor and restricted license to a 1 year misdemeanor and revocation of your license.

I'm pretty sure it varies by state. It may also vary depending on the duration and severity of the crime. Which is not to say that any sexual offense is less harmful than another, but that is just the way the law works.

Any unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature or creating a hostile environment can be construed as harassment. I doubt you will be convicted. The judge will see the full picture. Your ex is just trying to push your buttons. You are fine, nothing to worry about.

Assuming the author used the traditional definition of "crime against nature," that term refers to sodomy, so an "aggravated crime against nature" would be aggravated sodomy.  Sodomy has also been called buggery, abominable and detestable crime against nature, unnatural offense, unspeakable crime, sodomitry, and crimen innominatum.  Aggravated sodomy is defined as "criminal sodomy that involves force or results in serious bodily injury to the victim in addition to mental injury and emotional distress. - Some laws provide that sodomy involving a minor is automatically aggravated sodomy."

California does not designate it's crimes in degrees as so many other states do, so I don't know that I can offer a definitive answer for you.\n\nOn the other hand, states that do designate crimes in varying degrees, do so to establish the severity of the crime and/or punishment.  A 1st degree offense is more serious (more violence, more victims, etc) than a 2nd degree offense, and so on.
