In Minnesota aiding an offender can result in no more than three years of imprisonment or $5,000 in fines, or both at once if the relevant crime was a felony.

Due to you aiding and abetting, you will be facing up to 6 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. As you can see from this information above, there is no distinction between the actual perpetrator of the crime and the aider and abettor. A closely related crime is California Penal Code 32, accessory after the fact.

Penalties for PC 31 Aiding and Abetting An aider and abettor generally faces the same criminal charges under California’s Penal Code as the direct perpetrator. In a murder case, for example, an aider and abettor typically faces life in prison just as does the one who commits the actual killing.

A charge of aiding and abetting has three requirements. First, someone else must have committed a crime. Second, the defendant must have assisted that person in the commission of the crime. Third, the defendant must have had knowledge of that person’s criminal intent or criminal plans.

A criminal charge of “aiding and abetting” or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender’s participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy.

Aiding is assisting, supporting, or helping another to commit a crime. Abetting is encouraging, inciting, or inducing another to commit a crime. Aiding and abetting is a term often used to describe a single act.

If the fugitive’s alleged offense is a misdemeanor, the penalty for harboring the person is no more than 1 year in jail. However, if the fugitive is charged with a felony, anyone who helps him or her evade arrest could face up to 5 years in prison. The judge may also impose a fine for a harboring conviction.

An agent provocateur is someone who goes to assist someone in a crime that they were going to commit anyway (like an undercover accomplice) and then arresting them. Opposingly, in entrapment, an officer has an innocent person committed crime for the purpose of catching another person.

Note that aiding and abetting a crime does not require someone to be present at the scene of the crime. They just have to help in its commission. Aiding and abetting a crime is a crime, itself. People who aid and abet a crime can face the same punishment as the person who committed it.
