If the judge finds her in violation of probation, then the judge may enter a guilty finding and impose up to 10 years. Second degree assault is not a felony. It is a misdemeanor. It is unlikely that she would receive the maximum, but not reporting to her agent is a serious violation. Who the judge is will affect the disposition. I offer a free initial consultation.
VOP is not a felony, either. But she needs a lawyer immediately to mitigate this situation.
