Sexual abuse cases that are not domestic in nature carry a higher average sentence time in prison than those that are domestic in nature, according to D.C. Witness data.
The average sentence for defendants in a sexual abuse case that is domestic in nature is 2.31 years. The average sentence for a sex abuse defendant involved in a case that is not domestic in nature is 3.13 years.
The average time in prison for both types of cases is still under five years.
