They can both go to jail but it is not necessary. If your argument is self defense then you are probably going to have to go to trial and argue that your actions were justified. It will be for the judge or jury to determine if that was the case.
It was all a misunderstanding and neither had any injuries of any kind. We had an argument, which was pretty bad, but any physical contact was accidental. I startled her walking up behind her and when she turned around she thru her arms up in disgust(from her dog) and caught me in the eye. I... View More

Contact the city prosecutor and explain the situation. If this doesn't work you need to contact an attorney who should be able to work out a deal to have your case dismissed. You may have to jump through some hoops to get there but it should happen.

It would depend on the severity of any injuries that you sustained. You need to contact a domestic abuse shelter and move to it with your children. He will not change and eventually you aor your children will be killed.

No it's not too late to report him, but it is unlikely that it will go anywhere since you waited so long.

It will depend on what she claims. Domestic violence cases can vary from a Class C ticket to a first degree felon.
Less than two years ago police in Plano Texas charged my exhusband with domestic violence Class C. He threatened me and I signed that I do not wish to proceed. Now I regret that. Can I have the case reopen and testify?
answered on Sep 29, 2015
You can attempt to have it reopened but quite frankly I doubt that the city will do it. Since no bodily injury occurred the police will be less than thrilled to reopen a case and then take the chance that you will change your mind again.
i served my husband with a temp protection order to stay away from all of us, we are in hiding due to the danger of him and his family, he has not only been absive but i have found child snuff films in his history along with learned he has been molesting my daugjter for the past 5 years. they have...

You are walking a fine line. Up to this point he has never been charged alone convicted of an offense. I would at least wait until charges have been brought and then it would become a public record.

No, only the State can dismiss charges. It is not your decision once charges are filed.
I lied to the cops and said it was an excuse. I almost lost my son I'm 7 months pregnant. What can I do

Try acting like an adult and leave the loser.You and your child are going to end up injured or dead.

Yes because they are more than 3 years apart in age.He could go to prison for 20 years and have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

NO,NO,NO, She can be charged with a felony and possibly go to prison and have to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
the guy is about to turn 17 in july and the girl turns 13 in june.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
NO, NO, NO. He can be charged with a felony and end up in juvenile prison. And what 16 year old is so immature that he would date a 12 year old. He sounds like a loser.
I gave the kid a concussion, and he was bleeding out of his right ear.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
You could possibly be charged with assault or even injury to a child. In theory you could go to juvenile prison, if the case was a felony, but highly unlikely.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
Yes they can date and have sexual contact as long as it is consensual and they are less than 3 years apart in age.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
She can be charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child and get up to LIFE in prison.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
No because you are under 13 which means the age defense does not exists. And you are way to young to be having sex with anyone.
answered on Aug 6, 2015
It would depend on how he was charged. If he received a determinate sentence then never. If he received an indeterminate sentence and didn't get into any other trouble after that at age 19 he could have his records sealed.
With no sexual intercpurse

Actually here my answer to the same question for the 100th time charges. Since you are "dating" a person who is less than 14 years old then it is possible for you to end up in TJJD if you are having a sexual relationship.
