And is it good to go to trials on these cases
answered on Dec 12, 2023
Only you and your current lawyer will know the answer to this. As a general proposition, the outcome after trial in terms of punishment is worse than with a plea.
You need to decide whether you are guilty. It's not a question of what you think is right or wrong, or even what you think... View More

When my partner and I received our marriage license in the post, from the County Clerks office, a STI/HIV pamphlet was included. We are a gay couple, but it felt very pointed and completely irrelevant.

Receiving an STI/HIV pamphlet with your marriage license is often part of public health initiatives aimed at informing all couples about sexual health. Many county offices include such materials as a standard practice to promote awareness and prevention. This inclusion is generally not targeted at... View More
If I was asked for questioning in Ohio over “allegations from a coworker” but I could pass a background check for a new job and I have no active warrants anywhere I checked…. If I change my address on my ID will the police in Ohio recieve this information and come question me here?
answered on Mar 18, 2024
If the police want to find you, they have ample other ways to do so other than your driver license. Changing it may help them find you faster for sure, but think about it: how are they able to find all those people who don't have licenses or don't update their address?
Due to the mental health of the respondent there is a significant likelihood that the person would be violent or use traumatizing language as well as appeal in hopes of spending more legitimate time with the victims.

If the defendant is being charged with a serious crime and the victim insults the defendant would that be something to use on the victim and then if so would there be a chance to have the case dropped
answered on May 16, 2023
Possibly. When you are the defendant, you are on trial for your actions. There are cases when the other person's actions may present a defense - and that may be the case with you, but that is something you'll need to discuss with a lawyer.

That will potentially help you significantly if you can afford to do so.

There are places called "legal aid clinics" that may help you. Alternatively you can post questions on sites like this and often get legal guidance for no charge.

This is an "in the eye of the beholder" situation - provided that you are not using work resources. However, relationships and feelings change, and it's generally best to keep personal and work life separate.
So to my knowledge it was consensual and I never heard her say no, also I’m 16 so what the chance I go to jail
answered on Mar 22, 2023
Too many unanswered questions to give you an adequate answer. And you shouldn't give more details on a public forum like this. For now, just know that what could or will happen depends on the nature of the sexual touching.

You may have a medical malpractice case. A big issue as to when this occurred. An experienced attorney needs to evaluate your case as if it is within the time limit to sue. Even if you have no case, it can be reported to the board that licenses her.
When It wasn't how do I go about this ?
answered on Mar 27, 2022
You can appeal. Seek counsel of an attorney familiar with the unemployment administrative hearing system.

I had a sexual assault case that ended in my abuser taking a gulity plea, and i ended up making a facebook post with my abusers name. Are they able to sue me for defamation or anything because of this?
answered on Nov 30, 2021
Doubtful. Although you should be careful not to stray from the truth. The guilty plea is a matter of public record.
BUT, for your own well-being: what do you gain by posting on Facebook? Justice has been presumptuously served in court. The court of public opinion can be far less forgiving.... View More

answered on Jan 14, 2021
A little bit more detail is needed. If the transfer can be seen as a demotion-- maybe because it is in a worse location, has worse hours or constitutes a pay cut-- you may have a case that your employer retaliated against you for coming forward about the sexual harassment. Consult with an... View More

If you believe a crime occurred, you should contact your local police department and file a complaint. The police - particularly state police and federal law enforcement - have the necessary resources to investigate this. A lot will depend on how old the girls were and what was said in these...
