To wait they wouldn't give me any information or tell me why he was arrested. What should I do what can I do
Get an attorney and have the attorney knock on the same doors. Attorneys are especially skilled at finsing out information. Most of us have connections with the police.
I share 50/50 custody with him and have told him not to contact me unless it is about our child he goes back in forth within mins of hating me and loving me
Yep, I'd call that harassment. Contact your local police about it.
Best of luck to you.
Photo sent without my permission to my college administrators. It was done by an angry ex friend. Now I am having a hearing and facing disciplinary action. I could be expelled, lose my scholarship, have a disciplinary note on my transcript. This is very harmful to me. Can I press charges?
You may but that's not going to help--the train coming down the track at you has been set in motion--collaring the person who started it won't stop the train of the disciplinary process. Most colleges have a pro bono attorney who handles student issues. See if yours does. If not look for an... Read more »
Get a good lawyer. You dont give enough information for any other answer
As in there private areas when they leaving him run the streets unsupervised
I am assuming you have already called the police. Those are pretty serious allegations and ones that shoyld be investigated.

If the parents of the 18 year old are against the relationship is there anything they would be able to do
At 18 the person is no longer a minor. They could make life uncomfortable for the 18 year old and doubtless will. Is it worth it for either of you?
I was not notified when my car was towed away. The cop who found my stolen car got it towed and did not notify me. It has been a month i had to find the tow company myself 36 days later they are charging me 1100 dollars in fees.
This is a major problem. Contact your legislator, AAA, others --the law has to be changed. The question is what the towing company is charging. I don't have a clear, clean answer for this. However, if the person was found and is charged with the crime you may have access via the crime victims... Read more »
I'm aware he operates it. I do not have any access to the title the vehicle or my plate. The registration is expired.
You didn't say why he has the plate. Did you make a copy of everything? Contact PennDot and see what they say. You need to ask them to cancel the registration.
He doesn't have to notarize himself if you give him the car and sign it over and he accepts. However you need to cancel the... Read more »
I took a plea deal and they never mentioned a lisence suspension ever!! Its not in any of my sentencing paperwork and I was never told of it being part of it
Or I never would have taken the plea
Yes, there is an automatic suspension under the law for convictions for that offense. The only thing you can do is file a PCRA petition alleging your lawyer did not represent you properly.

I recently saw on the Pennsylvania public records that in was charged with child endangerment and found guilty. It's now on my record. I was in treatment for a year and never served and never returned to my house bc the bank took it back in the yr I was gone. Is this legal? I now have 18 months... Read more »
You need to have an extended talk with a Pennsylvania attorney ASAP to try to straighten this out - that's the best advice I can give you at this point. "Is this legal?" in an online forum isn't going to cut it. If your case is from a county in the southeastern region of Pennsylvania, I'd be... Read more »
I told them if they got help I wouldn't involve the police and there are wittiness's to my making this statement and the person did get help.
You certainly file a report with police. They will investigate and determine if charges are warranted. If they lay charges you and all the witnesses will need to make statements to the police and attend for the scheduled trial.
That being said the person got help but is now back into pills I want to press charges for the theft a year ago can I still do this or is it to late?
You should be good. Contact your local police to press charges.
Many experienced criminal defense attorneys offer an initial consultation at no cost. You should contact an experienced defense attorney who practices in the jurisdiction where the charges are pending. The attorney can discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the case and help the client make an... Read more »
Over the past 12 years I have been taking money from a seasonal employer. The total is about 33000 dollars. It was not malicious and I did intend to pay it back somehow and some way. The business is a cash business and is seasonal. How far back can they legally go and still charge me if they choose... Read more »

Expunged? A crazy long time. But "sealed"? You've now got a much better shot at that, thanks to a recent change in the law. Check out the information on this website for both expungement and sealing, and you should have your answer: https://mycleanslatepa.com/clean-slate-flow-chart/... Read more »
Almost surely not. Probation.
Best of luck to you.
My dad was accused of something that allegedly happened 35-40 years ago. An investigation was done about 20 years ago by state police and no charges filed. The accuser is intent on destroying him. Fast forward to today and a friend told me he was questioned about this by the ag’s office in... Read more »
The truth is often the first thing that is sacrificed in these scenarios. If a grand jury is empanelled then they will be given evidence to decide whether there is enough evidence to lay charges and continue with the matter. The grand jury is not an investigative tool rather a check on power to... Read more »
