A Maryland 3rd degree sex offense involves engaging in non-consensual sexual contact with another person, often under aggravating circumstances like the victim's age or use of force. It can include situations where the victim is unable to consent due to mental incapacity or coercion. If convicted, penalties may include up to 10 years in prison, fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender, along with probation or court-ordered counseling.
