If you are 17 YEARS OLD and put on probation but violated it, what could happen?

Question

My fiancée was put on probation and told that he could not call my HOUSE #, but he did so anyway because he couldn't bare to not talk to me for a year's time (until he turns 18 in June). He is noted to have a learning disability, dyslexic, and have ADHD, so he was not sent to court or charged with anything before he was put on probation. I was under the impression that he got a letter in the mail that stated he had violated his probation, but he did not. What could happen to him by the law? If he is sent to Juvenile Hall, how long could he serve? He has mentioned “disappearing” until he turns 21; an officer told him that at that age all charges would be dropped . What should he do?

I am being charged with a Class 1 Misdemeanor for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (we had consensual sex). I have nothing on my record and admitted to the truth...as he did. What am I most likely to get on my court date? The police officer that came to my house to speak to me said that he would just drop the case and not charge me for anything…but my boyfriend’s mother hates me and is doing all she can to ruin OUR future. She brought up the charges and is insistent that I “pay” for falling in love with her son. The police officer said that people in my position usually don’t get jail time…only probation or community service (my record is clean and I have been completely honest), but he said he can’t make me any promises. What do you think is going to happen?

Say I do get probation and it includes not calling his cell phone number...how can I talk to him without the law finding out (other than using the computer because he doesn't have one!) Should I use a pay phone or someone else's cell phone so it won't be tracked to me?

I meant he did'nt get the letter in the mail for violating probation...I WAS WRONG!!! It was something about family counseling.

Those last two comments were totally WRONG!!! I am not a molester! We love each other...he has proposed to me (we re engaged now) and our ages are not far apart! I turned 18 in March and met him shortly after...it was both of our FIRST times to be sexual, so neither of us are EDUCATED in that category!!

Answer 1

All the court will do is put some restrictions on you being able to contact him in a legal way. You may have to do 6 months or a year probation, at worst. If you really need to contact him you should find a third party to carry typed, unsigned, nonspecific notes (that he tears up after reading) It sounds like his mom will take you down if she gets a chance, so be careful if you must. The first person was right, your charge is small potatos-Not to mention he should be able to see you at 18 not 21. Also depending on what his case is, and how he violated it will determine how long he would get. At 17 for a probation violation He could easily go to the regular county jail. Juvy is not for certain, adult jails have plenty of 17 year olds, and so does the joint.

OK, because of problems at home he is probably required to attend classes, and he missed some so his p.o. could violate him, or he could get another chance.

Answer 2

It all depends on the jurisdection and the age at the time that you are charged with a crime. Some jurisdictions will hold out until you are 18 to charge you in adult court in other jurisdictions you only have to be 15 to be charged as an adult. You should go to the library and ask about it. The libraries should have the state laws written somewhere. OR you could go to a lawyer and ask for advice. If he violated parole, it's most likely that he will be arrested. Most places once you violate parole you get arrested and the original sentence is held out. So it he was supposed to get 3 months in juvenile corrections, then he'll probably have to serve it. As for yourself, you seem young, let it go. You don't need this much trouble at a young age. YOu will have to register as a sex offender from now on if you are convicted, that's not cool. Don't try to go around it, sneek around, think of it in the long run. Getting a job later on, applying for college, moving into a nice community. Everyone will only see you as a sex offender, they won't care if it was consensual sex between minors.

Answer 3

You will probably be fine, other than a slap on the wrist, which is likely the worst they can do, even if the mother is a *****. What he should do is comply with everything the court and his probation officer tells him to do.

How do you not get charged with anything, not have to go to court and get probation? He obviously did SOMETHING wrong. Also, at 17, you're not treated like a 12 year old stealing candy from the grocery store. He very well could be looking at an adult sentence and not juvenile hall.

Don't ask for help on Yahoo. Ask for help from a lawyer!

Answer 4

Sounds like you're a child molester. 20 years should do nicely. And a lifetime as a registered sex offender.

You're obviously clueless regarding the law - there's NO WAY he's on "probation" if he never went to court. One does not just get "put" on probation, lady! The fact that you would engage in a sexual relationship with a minor child further shows your ignorance of the law, not to mention your abject STUPIDITY in knowing that it's illegal but still wanting to continue the "relationship."

You should keep your knickers pulled up and stay away from minors.

Sadly there is a gross inequity here. If you were the male with an undeage female, you WOULD be in prison right now. Fact is you're no different from the Foley's of the world. You think that your pu$$y gets you a free pass from the law but one day it will catch up with you and we'll be rid of scum like you.

If I were that young lad's parent, I'd be pushing for statutory rape charges and would keep the heat turned up until you were tried and convicted of same.

Answer 5

Dear Erica,

First, NO ONE is put on probation by a court without having been to court. IMPOSSIBLE. Something doesn't track right with your assertion there.

Second, if he "disappears" until he is twenty-one, he will still have an unresolved legal issue in his past that will definitely affect his outlook on life and his future employment, since he will not have even finished his high school education.

Third, you dignify your relationship with this child by calling him your fiance. You write well and express yourself clearly (although asking for advice on Yahoo makes me wonder), so I conclude you are educated. The boy is not educated, except in the area of sex... by you. His mother is right to have anger directed toward you for what you have done. You have stolen a child's innocence and twisted his life to serve your unhealthy and selfish libido. If I were the boys mother, I'm afraid I would not stop at having charges brought against you, I would do MUCH worse. You had no right to do what you have done with that boy.

Answer 6

For a violation of probation he could be put in jail or juvy until he turns 21. It depends on the severity of the violation. He should just wait it out, don't run. You made your bed and now you need to lie in it!

Answer 7

you have rights over the grandparents rights. you would be shown undeserving formerly the grandparents could acquire custody. in case you decide on custody of the toddler, you may hit upon a competent residing house and function the skill to show which you have have been given moved on out of your "probation" problems. this way, if the grandparents take you to courtroom, you may say that sure you have had problems formerly yet have grew to become over a clean leaf as a fashion to be a competent father on your toddler.

Answer 8

Violated probation? Just hope they don't send you to prison 'til you turn 21. You might share a cell with a lifer named "Bubba", who hasn't had any for awhile. And you can bet he won't use any lube!

Answer 9

how did anyone find out he called? Well, he could get in trouble. You might could get in trouble too. I am not sure of what could happen, but jail time could be a possibility. Sounds like his mom is a real b**ch!

Answer 10

That's small time. I was charged with Assault and Battery on a Officer.
Your worried about bull crap. Wait till you get some Felony raps on your butt, then worry.
