Can the CPS give out that information to the accused?

I am pretty sure the accuser/witness's details are freely available to the defence - probably the reason why people won't get involved.

No. They only use the information for their use.  It is against the law to give that information to anyone else because you have not signed a consent.

These other answerers obviously did not read your question. They just spout out Family Watchdog...\n\nNow you want the details and not just some vague charge. \n\nUnfortunately, you will have to try to find archived newspaper articles on it somehow. \n\nCriminal files are public record at the courthouse but since these cases involve minors, their privacy is protected and the public cannot see the file. \n\nWhy don't you just ask the person or someone that knows him or knew him back when the incident occurred?

if you are the victim you will recieve a mail notification, if not you can probably call the prison and ask, i believe that it is public knowledge

It depends. Did she file a report or is she pressing charges? Did they take pictures of her wounds? If she is pressing charges then most likely they will go to the address that she gave them for him and arrest him.

It is not nearly so cut and dried as the previous answers would suggest.  In order to have the court order a confidential informant to come forward the defendant must show that without this individuals testimony or whatever they are not able to build an adequate defense.  That this person's information is critical to their receiving a fair trial and that this person has information or testimony that would benefit the defense's case.  in State of KS v. Freele they say:  \n\n1. The identity of a confidential informant is privileged unless the informant's identity has already been disclosed or disclosure is essential to assure a fair determination of the issues. In deciding whether to require disclosure of the identity of a confidential informant, a court must balance the public interest in protecting the flow of information to law enforcement officials against the defendant's right to prepare his or her defense.\n\n2. A "mere tipster" is an informant whose information precipitates an investigation. In contrast to the tipster, the informant who actually engages in or observes the criminal activity of the defendant is in a position to provide independent relevant evidence to the defense of the case. A mere tipster whose information precipitates an investigation is generally not subject to identity disclosure. \n \nThere are many different circumstances regarding informants, controlled buys, tips, search warrants, etc,  I am pretty well studied on this subject and I'd be happy to help you.  Contact me with some more information and I will see what I can find out for you.  And also be advised that even if you can prove that this informant lied to the police it is irrelevant based on the Good Faith Doctrine which states that as long as the police believed it and had no reason to suspect it a lie then everything is upheld and you're just screwed.  If this involves a search warrant you will need to request a Franks hearing.  Let me know if you would like my help.

Get a criminal report on that person

I dont know if you would have a record. However in texas you have cps open a case on you and they can hold that information for a 18 months.\n\nIn texas CPS doesnt have a good rep with me. They sent me to anger management classes. I called CPS on my ex concerning neglect on my daughter and they didnt do a damn thing. I gave them PROOF and all they did was tell her and I to call DR. to stress the importance of taken her medication on time. They need to close CPS in Texas

Hmmm... Well unfortunatly, a P.I. can get just about any info they want. With a ss#, online, you can do a total background/criminal record check and get so much info on a person. If the P.I. has "connections" there may not be a way of telling how much info they can get. As you said, "legally", it depends on the state you live in.  She CAN get access to text messages. They are available in a printable form so you can read each and every one. The cost of hiring a P.I. can vary. Harassment by phone can be reported to the cops, but all they will do is ask her to stop. (I had proof of a woman calling my voice mail with terroristic threats and the cops and phone company didn't really care.) The restraining order would most likely be needed if she shows up at your place. But keep in mind, thats only a piece of paper.  When it comes to a woman and her man... theres no telling.

Absolutely.  You do have to call the police to have them take the person into custody then you have to fill out a report.

If you used a lawyer he should have the information..........\n\nIf you did not I do not know.......

That information would have to be obtained by subpoena only.

If it can be disclosed to the public then it can be talked about.  Even if it isn't "public information" there are many reasons why they would talk about case information with people that are not law enforcement.  You talk about being in school, are you even 18?  If you are not then I don't think you will be taking any officers to court.
950754
no, it would just perpetuate an injustice.  encourage that person to report to the police and tell him what matters most will be that "the truth shall set us free."

You should be able to get a restraining order against him.  I'd advise getting an attorney rather than trying to do it yourself -- you want it done right the first time and you want the attorney as a buffer between you and the defendant.\n\nYou also want to have the attorney contact CPS and find out what the status of that case is.  If criminal charges have been filed, the DA should ask the criminal court for an order requiring him to stay away from you.

Probably depends a lot on the facts of the situation, the resources used for the investigation, etc. Hard to say.
