Personal Information
WILLIAM TIBBS was booked in Davidson County on Apr 24, 2025 on 4 felonies, including Mitigated Statutory Rape and 3 other charges.
Charges (4)
Mitigated Statutory Rape
Original: RAPE, STATUTORY, AGGRAVATED (Felony)
This statute creates three age-based sexual offenses: mitigated statutory rape (victim 15-17, defendant 4-5 years older), statutory rape (victim 13-17, defendant 4-9 years older depending on victim's age), and aggravated statutory rape (victim 13-17, defendant 10+ years older). These crimes are charged based on the age difference between the defendant and minor victim rather than force or lack of consent, since minors cannot legally consent. All carry 1 to 6 years in prison and fines up to $3,000 for first-time offenses, with possible enhancement to Class D felony for repeat offenses.
Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000

Sexual exploitation of a minor is a Class D felony punishable by 2-12 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Each separate image can result in a separate charge.
