Which offense is a felony (Class C) for subjecting another person to sexual contact by forcible compulsion or when the other person is incapable of consent because they are incapacitated or less than 12 years old?

• A. Felony (Class C)
• B. Sexual Torture
• C. Sexual Abuse (2nd Degree)
• D. Sexual Misconduct

Answer: (A)

When sexual contact is forced or the other person cannot consent due to incapacity or being under age, the law treats the act as a serious offense. Those elements push the conduct into a felony category, and in this jurisdiction that felony is designated as Class C. So the description fits the elements of a Class C felony: it covers sexual contact achieved by forcible compulsion or when consent cannot be given because of incapacity or being under 12. Other terms describe different offenses with different elements or penalties (for example, a more severe or differently defined offense, or a lesser offense), so they don’t align with the specific combination of forcible contact or lack of consent due to age/incapacity that the statute uses to define a Class C felony.
