if it was consensual sex and some time ago, though not technically legal, I don't think it would warrant jail.

If you have not been contacted by the police yet, I would try to return the money as soon as possible. If you wait, it could help prove you intended to steal.
If the cops are already involved, talk to a local criminal defense attorney before you do anything else.
Good luck!

I suggest you consult with and hire an experienced, reputable attorney in your area who handles domestic violence cases. By the nature of the injuries described, it may be filed as a felony. You have several potential defenses.
Good luck.
answered on Mar 6, 2021
It is possible is unfortunately the best answer. Depends on the circumstances, the prosecutor's policies, and several other factors.
Speak with a local criminal defense attorney.

It is typically a federal charge and also a felony. Your record and various other factors can dramatically increase and decrease the seriousness. The fact that you are not currently in custody is good.
Good luck!
