As an example: a teacher was accused of having an inapropriate relationship with an underage student. There is no proof in text messaging, emails, etc. but there are recordings that the student took without the teacher's knowledge. Would the recordings hold up in court, or could the recording...

The issue is not whether the student may be penalized…I think that you may be missing the big picture. The real issue is does the defendant have a privacy expectation from the secret recording of their alleged illegal behaviors?
If I lied when calling cops about dv about some of the other questions they asked (has he ever done this or that) and said yes and now i got a subpoena to be at court can I plead the 5th? I mean I read they can charge you if you lied.
lying to the police is not a good thing.
you should discuss your plight with a criminal lawyer, at a consultation, asap.
many DV victims later say they lied, so the odds are that the police and DA will not believe you.
I live in California. I reported him and had video proof of him taking up skirt photos of me. instead of sending me to a separate room or home she sent me back to office where we were only a few feet apart. I hid under my desk because I was afraid to face him and wasn’t sure if HR was going to... Read more »

The employer does not have to transfer or terminate an employee accused of harassment if the employer can prevent... Read more »

I have round trip tickets and plan on only being gone for 4 days (this is a vacation trip) and returning to Houston promptly.
I have had clients arrested on warrants in the Houston airport. The arrests created problems for both the client and their traveling companions. It would be wise to hire a local criminal defense attorney to clear the warrant before your trip.
Did you intend this to be posted in Ohio? There is no such Ohio statute.
She is 16, I am 17, and my grandma has already talked to the social worker and said that would work, but her parents just now decided they would go through with it and I dont know if they will hold onto that.

Hearsay is generally not admissible although there are exceptions. It is a complicated area of the law. For example, an out of court statement by one of the parties to the case is not considered hearsay. So, if a criminal defendant makes a statement to the police after he is arrested, that...

Here are a few bullet points of what occurred:
1. Verbal & Sexual Harassment
2. Unpaid hours every week due to archaic system; and I can’t prove it since I was told to report hours worked to management, who didn’t consistently report my time to payroll.

Not sure what your question really is. Did you do something stupid? Certainly. Is it possible you might get into trouble if it turns out that she is not 18 years old? Certainly. Could you face criminal charges? Certainly. Will your nude photos be out on the internet forever and could that... Read more »

I refused and she caused a huge fight where she attempted to assault me, and we both ended... Read more »
Just delete her messages and block her on all platforms. Trying to make a legal case out of something like that will only prolong your misery.
Thank you!! I have had no interaction that provoked it besides me shaking my head.

The employee was confirmed to have the photo on his phone and uploaded it to a messenger app for “work purposes”. Employee was confronted and apologized, asking for forgiveness. This is a large franchise store.
You have not asked a question here. However, I have already answered your other post that did ask an answer. Take care.
The incident took place at a large franchise store while we were buying something. I confronted the employee and found the photo which focused on my wife. The picture was being sent to a group of “supervisors” on a group messaging app. The employee apologized and begged for forgiveness. Has... Read more »
Taking a picture of someone in a public place is legal. One exception was made when a penal code was enacted that prevented people of taking pictures up a skirt or down a blouse, essentially taking a picture of those places where the person has not made public.
Good luck to you and to your wife.
