My boyfriend stole a credit card to buy porn. Yeah. He's an idiot.
So he's getting charged with credit card theft and 8 counts of actual theft. I want to know if credit card theft is a Felony or a Misdemeanor and how much time he may serve. And What is Theft? A Felony or Misdemeanor, and how much time will he serve for just one count? We live in Utah.
Thanks alot.

In many states the charge of Grand Larceny usually comes with a value figure, i.e. in New York it is $1500. It is assumed that a Credit Card has at least that value and it is a Felony. If it is a first offense he could get as much as three yrs......more if he has been charged before

If the amount is under $100.00 it is a misdemeanor otherwise, it is a Felony no matter what State you live in. Though the laws vary from State to State, it is considered Fraud and under Federal Law.

Theft of credit card is punishable under the Penal Law especially when it is used fraudulently.

I think that it depends on whether or not he made fraudulent charges to the card and if so, how much those charges total to.
