Does a cop have to read me my rights if I was put in cuffs but I did not go to jail?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Paula Wasserman Drake (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Paula Drake
If you were "in custody" (sounds like it due to the cuffs) and interrogated at that time, then the reading of the rights should have preceded the interrogation. The fact that you did not go to jail (but were probably issued a citation) won't matter. If you gave incriminating statements during the custodial interrogation, without having been read your rights, then your lawyer will make the appropriate motions to keep the statements out. That doesn't necessarily mean that there is not sufficient evidence against you even if the statements don't come in.

What is the sentence for someone with sexual abuse and no previous records?

Jacob Thomas Erickson
Answered by attorney Jacob Thomas Erickson
Criminal Law lawyer at Smith, Paulson, O'Donnell Erickson, PLC
The penalty for a sexual abuse claim will depend on what level of criminal sexual conduct the person is charged with. A person with no criminal history can expect to be sentenced to twelve years in prison if he or she is convicted of a first degree criminal sexual conduct. Sentences for lesser levels of criminal sexual conduct would be measured in months or even days. Hearsay relates to a type of evidence that a party might try to present to the Court and only effects the likelihood that the State can or cannot obtain a conviction for the selected charged level of criminal sexual conduct.
