Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
Once a charge is filed it is out of the person's hands. The accuser can't 'drop the charges'. The police or prosecutor often will not listen to the accuser who is now denying the charges. The accuser is now faced with a dilemna: (1) ignore the subpoena to appear that they will receive or (2) admit that the accuser filed a false police report and open themselves up to criminal penalties. If the accuser does the former, then they can be held in contempt of court. Luckily, they can't be sentenced to jail. But they can be fined. If the accuser is asked to come to court and does most often to explain how it was all a misunderstanding the court will continue to order the accuser back to court and the accuser opens themself up to contempt and a bench warrant. If the accuser does the latter and admits on the stand that the charges are made up, then they can face misdemeanor filing a false police report or felony perjury charges (if the DA thinks they are lying in denying the charges, then it could be charged as perjury). In this situation not only does the defendant need an experienced criminal defense lawyer, but so does the accuser.

What is the benefit of filing a sexual assualt case after 8 years has gone by?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
You can make a report still if you want to. Rape is 10 years from the outcry. So with kids, it is from when they remember, but you remembered immediately, so it's 10 years from 2003. You need to contact an attorney in your area. If he is charged with rape, then he will not be able to see you or yalls child. This is a very serious charge to allege. Don't use this charge if you are trying to punish him in a custody battle.

What would are the best and worst case scenarios for this assault situation?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
If the boss has already called the police and a report has been generated, there really is no "best case scenario," at least in terms of whether she will be charged or not. If a warrant hasn't already issued, it is very likely to happen in the immediate future. Hitting the b/f with her fist can be charged as a Class A misdemeanor: Assault - Bodily Injury. Hitting the b/f with her car can be charged as a 2nd degree felony for: Aggravated Assault - Deadly Weapon. A car is not legally considered a deadly weapon, per se. However, it can be proven up to be a deadly weapon by a jury, if it is used in such a way that it can be considered a deadly weapon.  For leaving the scene she could possibly be charged with the felony offense of Evading Arrest/Detention. There's not enough facts given in your inquiry for me to be able to say how likely the Evading charge would be, but there is the potential for that. The best thing your friend can do is to hire an attorney and refuse to speak to law enforcement. She needs to not speak about it with any friends. She needs to not text about it. She needs to not post about it on FB or MySpace or any other social media. In a situation as convoluted as you've described, she needs to invoke her right to not incriminate herself, and let her lawyer take the reins from there. Example: if she speaks to law enforcement and tells them the assault was an accident, she could still be convicted of the offense if the DA's office charged her with committing the offense recklessly. So, if she isn't trained to spot all the issues that can come up when speaking with authorities, the best solution is to not do it. There may also be some legal defenses available to her. If successfully argued, a valid legal defense might help her get the case(s) dismissed, or get her acquitted at trial. Those may be screwed up too, if she speaks to law enforcement without knowing the potential effect of every word she says. If the wheels of law enforcement are already turning, she needs to move quickly to be prepared for what is coming.
