Sexual battery is a felony offense punishable by up to 6 years in prison and a maximum fine of $3,000. Registration on the state's sex offender registry is mandatory for those convicted of sexual battery or aggravated sexual battery. The length of time you will be required to maintain your sex offender registration will depend on the severity of the offense.
