I need advice on a case for my daughter. She was arrested for incecency with a child. She was 19 the the other girl was 14 or 15. what should I do?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
You need to hire the best representation for her that you can afford. From the facts provided, it sounds like your daughter has been charged with Indecency with a Child by Contact. That offense is a 2nd degree felony, and carries a potential penalty of anywhere from 2 years in prison, up to 20 years in prison. Additionally, a conviction for that offense would require her to register as a sex offender for life. Even if the girls were discovered in a compromising position, there are avenues of resolution that can be pursued to avoid prison, or the lifetime registration requirement that would be imposed if she were convicted.  Feel free to contact me to discuss the matter more fully. Best, Rick

Is you received deferred adjufication and it was dismissed to you show it as a conviction on a application

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
There is no conviction for State purposes if you received deferred adjudication. There are some jobs that require you to put down if you were arrested and some federal applications that treat a probation as a conviction. Check with your lawyer about the specifics of the application you are filing. You should also inquire about an order of non-disclosure.

Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
I means that the person can take a deferred adjudication probation that lasts 10 years (but can be early terminated, or upon revocation, can result in the full range of punishment for the offense) or the person can take 4 years in prison.
