You need to retain a lawyer asap if you have not already done so. The State can chose to pursue charges even if the victim no longer wants to follow through with the charges. If you were convicted of each of those, there is the possibility of county jail time. With the right lawyer and depending on your prior criminal history, you may be able to get just probation or even get these charges dropped.

If you have not already retain a lawyer, you may contact me for a free consultation.
