Am I really going to get incarcerated and registered as a sex offender if they do not have any evidence whatsoever?

Answered by attorney Linda Kaye Frieder (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Linda K. Frieder
There is ALWAYS a risk when going to trial. This is a case that you should fight because the ramifications are dire. It sounds like you are having a preliminary hearing coming up. This is the time to contact a lawyer with experience handling cases concerning statutory rape. Because you are over 21, if convicted, the penalties are severe. You could get probation or up to 1 year in jail; OR If she was under 16 at the time of the incident, you could get 2-4 years. If she was over 16, you could get 16 months to 3 years; AND Up to 10k in fines. There are ALSO civil penalties that may be imposed up to 25k. If you are just charged with statutory rape and plead to it or are convicted, there is no requirement to register as a sex offender. However, if you are charged with additional counts, such as child annoyance, you could be required to register. Your best defense is that you did not engage in sex with a minor. You should remain silent and force the State to prove its case. You need to engage an attorney who handles sex cases.

What can I do to prevent my son from going back to jail?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
There is no reason he will go back unless he commits a new crime or probation/parole violation. Even if he reports the assault and misconduct of jailers, there should not be retaliation, but your speculation is no better than mine about whether he could prove retaliation. It is up to him whether to report. If he chooses to do so, he might consider hiring counsel to help in this.
