Answer:
9 GCA § 25.15 reads:
“(a) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree if he or she engages in sexual penetration with the victim and if any of the following circumstances exists:
(1) the victim is under fourteen (14) years of age;
***
(b) Criminal sexual conduct in the first degree is a felony in the first degree. Any person convicted of criminal sexual conduct under § 25.15(a) shall be sentenced to a minimum of fifteen (15) years imprisonment, and may be sentenced to a maximum of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.”
In the given instance, your brother’s friend may be sentenced to a minimum of 15 years imprisonment or a maximum of life imprisonment.
