My boyfriend is currently surveing a 15 year probation sentance(1 year complete). For 2 counts of felony child abuse(dont ask its a bunch of bull). When moving his stuff out of his ex-girlfriends house, he went and got his hunting rifle. They called the sherrif and he was arrested. Any idea on what his punshiment will be?

As for the charge of the child abuse, i was with him during the case, as the state dragged their feet after him and his wife got divorced. The defacs office couldnt prove one way or another on who was to blame, and as his ex-wife and her mother were blaming him, he got stuck with the balme. I was not there, I do not know who hurt their child. I only know what I saw and who I talked to. Have you ever heard that people can change?

He had talked to his probation officer, who told him that since he did go hunting every season. He was allowed to keep the rifle, but only for hunting purposes. The rifle is in his Uncle's name, and his Uncle was supposed to have come and picked it up.

As for not having children, again have you ever heard that people can change? I thought this was supposed to be a place for people to go for support and advice, not to be put down for their choices.

Your boyfriend needs to hire an attorney, and quickly. Possible punishment is 1) revocation of probation, which would require that he serve his complete sentence on the child abuse convictions, and 2) additional charges for possession of a firearm by a felon, and the attending penalty. Given that his probation is 15 years, I am guessing that the sentence would have been at least that long. He is risking many years in prison, so he needs to get an attorney quickly.

Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a federal offense... Minimum sentence is probation... Maximum sentence is 10 years in federal prison...

I suggest that your friend has violated the terms of his probation and faces a possible stay in jail. I know of no state that allows convicted felons to posses a fire arm. If his probation is revoked, he will start serving his 15 year sentence. May I suggest that you evaluate your relationship with this felon.

It is illegal for any person convicted of a felony to possess, receive, or transport any firearm in any state. But if you'd like reference for Georgia specifically, I linked the source.

First of all, "bunch of bull". Since i wasnt born last night, im not inclined to believe that one. As far as his "going to get his rifle, not knowing he wasnt allowed to have it", THATS a bunch of bull. If he is that stupid, let him do his time. And as far as you go, do the country a favor, DONT HAVE CHILDREN, in case they turn out like you or your bf.

He'll have to finish his any time he may have had ( probation usually doesn't have any) and what ever time he is given from this charge.

PRISON. No felon in any state is allowed to have a firearm. He should never have gone near it, no matter what.

I don't know. States all have different laws. Have you called a lawyer? If not, do it ASAP.
Good luck.
