It is important to note that in the case of unlawful sexual offenses, a deadly weapon does not need to be used and severe injury does not need to occur in order for the event to be considered a crime of violence. Instead, if the defendant (a) causes some bodily injury or (b) uses force, threats, or intimidation against the victim, the case can be classified as a violent crime.
