 Child molestation in Arizona is sometimes confused with sexual conduct with a minor. It's actually not quite as serious but it's still very serious. It involves the fondling of the genitalia area of a child without penetration. It does not involve the breast area but it does involve the anus or the genitalia. Now if a person is charged with that crime and the victim is under 14 years or 14 years of age or younger it's called dangerous crimes against children or DCAC. And if that's the case the minimum is 10 years in prison day for day, 17 is the presumptive and 24 is the maximum. And if there's more than one count it can be stacked potentially if they're on different dates of violation. If it's on the same date of violation they can be run concurrent depending on the situation. Still it's at least a decade in prison very serious. Now lots of people are falsely accused either by disgruntled spouses in custody battles, disgruntled teenagers who want either a parent or a boyfriend or girlfriend out of the household or sometimes just by crazy people, crazy students that are just upset.
