Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
My fiance has been charged with 5 counts of child molestation. This case is not as severe as most child molestation cases. There was nothing except touching that happened. It was not violent or against will. This is his first offense and he has only one thing in his record ( fighting). How much time will her be given in jail?

Even the slightest touching, anywhere on the body and even on the clothing, can be charged as a 288 IF it can be proven that the touching was for the purpose of sexually arousing either person. The stakes are high. Long prison sentences have been given for this. Then there is the lifetime sex registration requirement. Get a criminal defense attorney in your area. Your fiance should not fight this alone.
Multiple years in prison on each felony count convicted of.
