Can a domestic violence misdemeanor charge ruin a career?
I have a friend whose husband is likely going plead guilty to a domestic violence charge as a misdemeanor and obstructing official business (another misdemeanor).
Her husband holds a prominent job with a large organization.
Will the charge effect his work or future work opportunities.
He is definitely guilty. They have loads of pictures from the domestic violence program, the police etc. He hasn’t ever done this before, but he did beat her really bad.
She just wondered because they have kids together and she is a stay-at-home mom.
This is in Ohio.
I would really appreciate links to forward to her with information. Thanks.

She is giving a victim impact statement at the pre-trial. She filed a CPO and had an attorney. There isn't going ro be a trial because his lawyer said he is pleading guilty to the DV misdemeanor.

How do I scroll to another page to see additional feedback.
Update: My friend, through her church, therapy and her own beliefs would like her family to be healed and remain together. Her husband is ignoring her and is supposed to be filing for a divorce and won't talk to her. She extended anolive branch and he basicallyemotionally beat her with it. His family supports him, she has no family, just us friends.
She is a mess emotionally..devastated!
IShe is in counseling and so are the kids and then someone called social services and they came to see her.
They went from being a niddle class family to poverty-stricken. It is terrible.
His pre-trial is Monday and she is trying to write her victim impact statement. She knows he will serve her with divorce papers right after that.
He's being nasty now and she has the opportunity to get the prosecutor to put him in jail, and yet she doesn;t want to hurt him.

I think she was right to cooperate with prosecutors, get a CPO, deny visitiation now, insist on bills being paid, etc. But he is mad at her and blames it all on her.
She is a stay at home mom with kids and they went from middle class to having nothing because he is ignoring the CPO and there is no money for her to get gifts for the kids or anything. Friends are bringing them food and the church brought some gifts. Her boys are 4 and 12..I think, maybe 5 and 11. I don;t remember.
