If your attorney filed a Petition to Expunge then you need to get... View More

If you file a motion challenging the stop and the court conducts a hearing and finds that the police did not have any valid reason to pull you over, then everything that happened after the illegal stop of your vehicle should be thrown out.

You cannot start the expungement process until you are eligible to start. When you will be eligible to file a Petition to Expunge depends on the case and what the statute provides for. File as soon as you are eligible to file.

The judge cannot order expungement unless a Petition is filed, notice is given to all interested parties, such as the legal authority for the town you were arrested in, the local police, the state police and the prosecutor. They will be given an opportunity to object and the judge will ultimately... View More

The bottom line is that the police can charge you with any crime they think that they can prove in court. There's not much you can do about what the police decide to do. All you can do is remember that anything you say to them can be used against you in court. That's why I regularly... View More

If the police and prosecutors have enough evidence to prove the charges in court, they can file criminal charges against him. If you are served with a subpoena requiring you to appear in Court, if you fail to appear you could be held in Contempt of Court and arrested.

If you believe that you are a victim of a crime you should contact the police and file a police report. Since you are a minor you should talk to your parents about this and have them contact the police for you.
answered on Apr 18, 2017
You can always be charged with a crime if the police and prosecutor they believe they have enough evidence to charge you. You should consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can review the evidence and represent you in court.
He's concerned that he can get arrested. He thinks his mother will try filing a report saying he is with a minor(me). My family accepts him but his mother isn't onboard with me and him. Can he get arrested? accused of rape or have any legal problems?

In Illinois you have to be 17 years old to consent to sex. If you are 16 and under, you cannot consent. So if you are 17 you can legally consent to sex in Illinois.
