He could certainly have your 18 year old friend arrested for assault... and that's what he would be arrested for.  After that, with documentation, yeah, your friend could be sued for his actions.

If the offender is in state prison, knowing their DC# will make the process easier. \n\nThe link provided is the Offender Search database for the Florida Department of Corrections. You can enter the name, age range and other information and search through the results.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

It's 16 or 18 depending on circumstances. For more info, see my source.

have a  friend that had to make same choice (different charges, she's wearing a braclet for a year) Take the 45 days! Your friends will still come see you and usually your probation officer will give you time out to do important things with advance notice.  Have you ever been in jail, even over night?  County jail is prob where you will be and it's the worst.  You'll be sorry if you choose jail. Trust me!

dont you wish now that you wouldnt have got into trouble? i think that its going to be terrible there for you. i dont know what you done or how old you are. that does make a difference. \nif i had to go to jail, i would write letters and sleep alot and i would keep to myself. that 6 months is going to seem like 6 years. make it a learning experience and dont ever commit any crime again. im sure there are people that love you, its going to be hard on them too. good luck to you

There are many things they can and are charged with, depending on where they are arrested. The most common charge for a situation like that is called Solicition of a Minor for Illicit Purposes.\n\nAny charges on top of that would depend on how much they did before showing up to the house. There could be Transmission of Obscene Matter to a Minor, Contributing to the Delinquency/Dependency of a Minor, Attempting Sexual Contact with a Child, etc. The names of these charges would change a little based on individual state laws. But just about anywhere, these are all felonies. If you get hit for just one of them, there is a chance the judge will be lenient. But the more of them you have, the longer the sentence will be.\n\nIt's possible that a really good, high-priced lawyer could get one or two of the charges reduced or dropped. But without the large amount of money that would require, there is a very real chance of a very long prison term.

depends on the state.  in georgia, my state, Georgia, simple battery is when:\n      (a) A person commits the offense of simple battery when he or she either: \n      (1) Intentionally makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with the person of another; or \n      (2) Intentionally causes physical harm to another. \n\nand battery is when:\n      (a) A person commits the offense of battery when he or she intentionally causes substantial physical harm or visible bodily harm to another.\n\nso the main difference is "substantial" and/or "visible" harm.  This can mean bruising, cutting, leaving choke marks and so forth.  in the end, it's up to the judge (with the recommendation of the D.A.) to decide which law the battery falls under. \n\nSomeone above said that battery can be getting yelled at.  That is wrong.  Battery in any form requires physical contact.  Assault is the crime that doesn't require contact.  Assault is when you can be said to have reasonably feared that physical harm MIGHT happen.  That is, when someone fakes you out by acting like they're gonna punch you, and you flinch, they have assaulted you whether or not they actually hit you.  But if they didn't actually hit you, no battery occurred.\n\nboth are misdemeanors in GA, but battery carries more jailtime and fines.  Aggrivated battery is a felony here.

FYI, if you are caught making it or in posession of it, depending on where you live you can spend up to 30 years in jail.\nJust thought you should know.

I will assume Florida is like Kentucky in that there is no Statute of Limitations on any Felony.  You can be prosecuted any time.

I have no background in Michigan law, only Illinois,  but the underlying concepts are similar in general.\n\nWhen both of the parties involved, the perpetrator and the victim, are in their teens, the authorities don't look so harshly on this as if the guy were 40, say. So they take what is essentially Statutory Rape, and soften it down to something like "sexual delinquency", or as you write, "sexual misconduct".\n\nThe guy will probably get into more trouble because of his parole violation, than for this minor sexual peccadillo.That could mean some jail time. \n\nThere are also usually some kinds of counseling that kids can be sent to, involving family and sex responsibilities. \n\nSMWAM is vague--any kind of sexual, oral, or other intimate contact could be included, with or without the girl's consent. Since she is underage, her consent is irrelevant; even if she was a willing participant, sex is not supposed to happen between persons on opposite sides of the age of majority. \n\nAnd different states define that age differently--maybe 21, maybe 18, maybe 16. A flaw of our laws is that there is no national standard for :"At what age is someone a full adult"? For tobacco there's one age; for alohol there's another; for sex, still another; for military service or voting another, etc. etc.

Felonious Assault is an F2 unless the assaultee is a Police or Peace Officer in which case it is an F1.\n\nAggravated Assault is an F4 unless the same applies from above then it is an F3.\n\nSimple Assault is an F4 unless you are a caretaker for a dependant person then it is an F3.  It can also be an F5 under several circumstances.\n\nThe sentence depends on the seriousness, degree of felony and prior record.  An F5 can be punished upto 12 months in prison, F4: upto 18 months in prison, F3: upto 5 years, F2: upto 8 years, F1: upto 10 years.\n\nRead these two sections of the Ohio Revised Code:\n§ 2929.14. Basic prison terms.\n§ 2929.13. Guidance by degree of felony.

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!
