- First Degree: First is the most serious degree of assault. This is sexual contact that is forced by use of a dangerous weapon or through the threat of violence.
- Second Degree: Second-degree assault can also be determined under the threat of violence. However, there are other factors too. Often, these kinds of assaults are committed by those in a place of power, such as a teacher, doctor or correctional officer. Also, these cases can involve the mentally ill or intoxicated.
- Third Degree: For third-degree sexual assault, bodily fluids are found on either the defendant or victim for the purpose of sexual gratification or humiliation.
- Fourth Degree: The final degree is described as a non-consensual sexual contact. This can be direct or indirect touching for sexual gratification or humiliation of the victim.
