You need to retain an attorney immediately. You are being charged with having unlawful sex with a minor more than 3 years younger than you. This may be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Also do not discuss this matter with anyone but your attorney.

Re: 261.5c

None, at least none good for you. You face prison time, and you're worrying about her phone and trying to stay in contact with her? If you don't have an attorney, which seems evident, you'd better get one soon unless you like the thought of jail sex. If you get serious about defending yourself, feel free to contact me.
