I haven't done criminal law in 10+ years, but just by looking up the three offenses I see that the court is given a fair amount of latitude in choosing jail, prison or probation. Fines and victim restitution can also be imposed. If a public defender has been assigned to the case, that's the person to ask. The harm done to the victim(s) and the victim's attitude will be a factor. I'd guess maybe 6 months jail but it could go anywhere from probation to prison.

That's up to the judge if you are convicted at trial, or up to your attorney and the DA to negotiate as a 'plea bargain deal'. You face multiple years total unless reduced by plea bargain. If serious about getting legal representation on this, if in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.
