Fortunately for you and your daughter, you have no case thanks to your quick thinking. I strongly urge you to contact the management of the restaurant and I would also contact the county board of health. You only have a suit if you have both a cause and damages, you may have cause but thanks to you're being a great mom, you don't have damages. I think you did well. I hope your daughter learned a valuable lesson. I have food allergies too and if they screw up the order I order...

The question isn't whether you can file charges (of course you can) it is whether the police will take the cross complaint and act upon it. I would urge you to hire an attorney ASAP to preserve those tapes. He should serve a subpoena on the bar and do everything in his power to get them. I would also call the DA and police Dept. and demand they try to preserve them as well.

As I do not practice law in Iowa I am only providing general information and I am not providing legal advice. Please do not rely on this information.

You can't cancel anything. You can report anything you think may have happened to the government ( such as your suspicion that he entered into a sham marraige with you, however it will be difficult to prove and will not likely cost him the green card.

Probably not. While a dressing room is a place where a person may have an expectation of privacy, it is not a full expectation. Most dressing rooms in stores such as you suggest have dressing rooms reserved for men and women. Hence in a Heterosexual union, one member of the couple will be trespassing and there is also an assumption on the part of Law enforcement that this is considered lewd behavior and this would be covered under the rubric of Indecent exposure, or disorderly conduct. That...

Not likely. There is no sexual assault statute. He could have been found guilty of Sexual Abuse, aggravated sexual abuse, Sexual act or course of sexual conduct against a child all in the second degree. Sentencing for these crimes range from probation to many years in Prison, depending on the crime charged. Generally there is no "standard" sentence for any crime in NY. There are mandatory minimums and there are maximums but no standard. With that said, Sentencing often depends on a...

It is unlikely you will be jailed right now. It sounds like a civil matter you cannot be arrested unless they can prove fraud. You would be well served to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

As the information was "suppressed" it would be very difficult to prove without the help of the boy involved. I would not take getting him involved lightly. It is very possible he will not want to come forward nor may he want to be anymore involved than the last time and it could open a wound he closed long ago. You indicate the person is an "acquaintance" but you seem to know a lot about her past. Assuming you have no ill will and are really out to protect others, you may go to the school...

First and foremost do not despair! In the short term it will be a problem however for most entry level positions the issue will be more about how you handle the problem than what you did. Be sure to mention the issue in your letters. Discuss how the whole thing changed your life and what you do to stay clean and sober. Further when you apply for a job, instead of offering recommendations if requested, send along recommendations that acknowledge they know about your previous issues and how...

When people accused of crimes can show community support, that usually works to their benefit. The support must of course be of the right kind and the right tone. Writing directly to a judge without having the letters screened by your attorney is a big mistake. In fact some courts will discount anything not originally shared with counsel for both sides. If you are seeking to quash a prosecution, the letters would probably best be sent to the prosecutor however again the letters should be...
