The misdemeanor offense of retail theft is a Class A misdemeanor, with a potential penalty of up to 364 days in jail and a maximum fine of $2,500. The defendant would be eligible for supervision, which is not a conviction and can be expunged. An offender sentenced to a jail sentence for retail theft must serve at least 50 percent of their time.
On the other hand, if the value of the stolen goods was in excess of $300, the offense is a Class 3 felony. In this instance, the potential penalty can include 2 to 5 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. #retailtheftpenalties, #retailtheft,
Under Illinois law, the age of consent for any type of sexual activity is, typically, 17 years. This means anyone younger than 17 years of age cannot lawfully consent to any type of sex act involving sexual conduct. Sexual conduct is the touching of any sex organ of another.

At this age, “consent” is a legal term, not a factual term. #ageofconsent, #sexualactivity,
