The judge will decide. Jail time is unlikely. Community service, probation, classes, fines--that's what you're looking at most likely.
I am a 17 year old living with my grandmother in a trailer/rv park. She does not have legal custody or guardianship of me, as she moved to get me out of a bad situation. She is now kicking me out with no where to go because she doesnt like me as a person. I have lived with her for 3 month approx.... View More

Your grandmother would have to obtain a court order to evict you.

Like say an adult were to discuss a kink for example with a 17 year old. Just a simple topic or discussion. There is no hint of actually wanting to preform such acts one said 17 year old.

IMO you should forget trying to find out if you can "discuss sexual topics with a minor." Why? Because you are treading into a very dangerous area where most intelligent adults on this side of prison bars do not intentionally go.

Your daughter is entitled to a court-appointed attorney. I am not sure a privately-retained attorney would have much advantage over the public defender in this case.
Hopefully your daughter can get some assistance coping with the losses she has sustained in her young life.

Why aren't you talking to your attorney, who knows the circumstances?
mr. kent thomas jones ; nothing happened. she hangs out with them sometimes, one of the girls mothers are saying she's a pedo and that she's going to call the cops. nothing sexual, nothing in that nature, cause she knows she can and will be charged.

There is no crime involved with adults associating with minors, so long as nothing criminal occurs like threats, abuse, sexual acts, etc.
I live in Illinois now and I want to move out when I'm 18. What I want to know is if even though I turn 18 can she still stop me from moving out legally or if I can move out without her consent?
answered on Aug 5, 2019
Once you're 18 years old you're legally an adult. You can move out without her consent unless you are developmentally disabled and she is your court-appointed guardian. This is rare. You would know if this happened since the court proceedings would have been within the past year and you... View More

I don't see a question here. However, you are a minor, and if you are living at home, your parents are going to have a say as to who can come to their house. And while I understand that affairs of the heart can cause people to do and say many things, a judge is going to be very skeptical... View More

It is not a crime to be friends with minors. Did something else happen?
I am a minor originally charged with posession of marijuana under a oz which is getting expunged through a informal agreement. Kratom helps me a lot and want to know if I can still use it. Its legal but can be specifically tested for in labs but will they do that?
answered on Aug 15, 2019
Yes Kratom is legal in Georgia, but that doesn't mean its safe to use. There are several specific tests for Kratom that will confirm it has been used; however, it is not usually tested for on standard drug tests. There are specific drug screens to test for Kratom.

Based on the information provided in your question it is a possibility the friend can get in trouble.
Already pleaed guilty to his charges but was put on probation till a month after he's 18 . Now he has a warrant for not checking in . Willl his warrant be dropped or will it be carried over as an adult ?
answered on Jul 29, 2019
Warrants generally freeze everything until they are quashed and the underlying issue addressed. The Court will continue to have jurisdiction over him even after he is 18.
He should contact an attorney to schedule the warrant quash hearing and assist him in ending probation and closing the... View More

What your best defense is depends on the facts of your case and what specifically you were charged with. Hire an attorney to assist you or request court-appointed counsel.

The question of who did what is an issue of fact, and issues of fact are what jury trials are for. Your teen will need an attorney. Start calling around. Good luck.
We have open harassment charges against them because they constantly harass us day in and day out. This is something that we think they have done just to get on our nerves but I’m worried about what they will do with footage of my two year old.

It's generally not considered illegal to have a camera recording in public unless for example it was used to look inside a private area in your house via the window etc.
