Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
If you're accused of a felony and adjudication is withheld, do you legally have
If you are accused of a felony and adjudication is withheld, would you legally have to admit guilt and pay all the dues of someone who was actually adjudicated guilty? This is happening to someone I love and I can't sit idolly by. Even though he never did the crime he has to suffer the consequences of it. By the way it is alleged sex offender, he took a polygraph and passed. The accusser
refused to take the polygraph. So rather than go to trial, (without anyone else knowing that he passed the test). He has to still be treated as though he's guilty!

He does not have to plead guilty and should not plead guilty, if he is innocent. He can seek to negotiate a "no contest" plea with the prosecutor and seek to have the felony reduced to a misdemeanor. If that is not possible and he is innocent, he should go to trial.
