See i had stolen a check from my friend and i know it was wrong. But after doing it i went to him and told him what i did, we then settled it and he said repay me by this date. And of coarse i did so, but now there is talk at work that because i am in the military that they want to try and push this.

The last little bit is the person that this happened to he does not want to see anything happen to me legaly. He is just no longer friends with me but just wants this to be over with.

What are the Criminal Laws that have been broke by this and what is the maximum penalty?

Only if charges are on the books. If there is an offence committed, the judge could use the facts towards the second case, since most judges are liberals who needs to be strung up.

If the matter was resolved between the two individuals, then no other legal consequences can come of it, because by not pressing charges over the stolen check and forgery at the time that it was discovered, the victim basically forgoes his/her right to do so. That person could decide to press charges, but the more time has passed since it happened, the more difficult it is to prove, and the person would have to explain in court why they didn't do it sooner.

Yes you committed several crimes, but it will all depend on your x friend, you signed his name to the check, but if he says he authorized you to do that, that's it the end , like the Judge said next case, there are so many cases in the courts, both military and outside, they don't have time to fool around with some little thing that everyone concerned wants to make it go away anyway

Civil remedies and criminal prosecutions are usually independent of each other.
It sounds like the two of you resolved any civil dispute. But that generally doesn't prevent a prosecutor from pressing charges for actions that are barred by criminal statute.

technically only the prosecution can file charges. but in laymens terms people routinely say they are pressing charges ... either way, it is up to the business to report the bad checks or whatever to the police, who then file a report with the prosecution who decides whether to prosecute.. so to answer your question, no - no one else can file ..
as for consequences? we there are financial reports that can be reported via Certigy and ChexSystems in the US that can have an impact oon your ability to write checks in the future, but not likely a any legal recourse.

you've commited fraud, forgery, identity theft, and theft of personal property. It is very likely that you are facing a dishonorable discharge if not jail time.
