Not legal advice. This range is the statutory penalty as written in the law — it is
not “your sentence.” What is NOT accounted for here: Priors, concurrence with rape / rape-of-vulnerable (arts. 213 / 217-A) where the conduct escalates, discretion, plea-type agreements. If you face a real
charge, consult a licensed lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
