Internet Fraud

The penalties will depend on the specific statutes being violated, and the sentencing laws and rules in the court of prosecution. There is no one single crime called "Internet fraud." Generally speaking, felony crimes can have sentences that include state or federal prison sentencing, or county jail time if probation is granted. Additionally, there may be fines, restitution orders, restrictions against obtaining employment that involves computers, being subject to random, unannounced searches, and any other probation condition that the court deems essential to the offender's rehabilitation.
