If a defendant is found guilty of sexual assault, the penalties can vary. Aggravating or mitigating factors that are highly fact specific can increase or reduce the criminal sentence. But generally prison time, community supervision and fines are possible.

One of the most severe aspects, however, is the registration as a sex offender that can affect a person for the rest of their life, whether the act was consensual or not.
