If you plead guilty or are convicted, you will go to jail. That is why you had better see a criminal defense lawyer now.

IF she or her parents file criminal charges, yes you'll go to court. If so, the ONLY specific advice you should expect to get from here or elsewhere is to exercise your 5th Amendment rights to SHUT UP, hire an attorney, and do NOT talk to anyone except your attorney about the case. With ANY crime being investigated, you potentially face charges that could put in jail/prison. Most police and prosecutors will happily tell you that 95% of people convict themselves by trying to be 'helpful and cooperative'. Unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict you, hire an attorney who does. If this is in SoCAL courts, and if you�re serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me.
