Class A Misdeamenor in Arkansas?? What does this mean?

[JL1980]

What is the name of your state? AR

My 19-year-old friend has been charged with a Class A Misdeamenor sexual assault charge for giving a 14-year-old girl that he was dating at the time a hickey. Could someone please tell me what exactly does this mean? Like, what is the limit on sentencing for a class A Misdeamenor? What's the difference in like a Class A or Class B or whatever? I know nothing about legal stuff and I'm just concerned and kinda wanting to know what's the worst that could happen, I guess. He is probably going to plead guilty because, he DID give her the hickey, so.....anyways....is pleading guilty usually the way to go as far as getting an easier sentence? I know this is like 3 questions but this all happened like, yesterday, and I'm kinda freakin out here.

If you can answer any of the above rambling, confused questions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

This means your friend is lying to you about what he did to the girl.

My response:

Sure. It means that he applied suction to her neck, resulting in broken blood vessels closest to the derma, causing a bruising effect - - otherwise known as a "hickey".

He also screwed the little trailer trash.

Class "A" means an "A" for effort and graduates next to felonious affairs. Your friend bought the farm big time playing with jail bait. Pretty stupid to leave behind such graphic evidence, doesn't she know what turtleneck sweaters are for, oh that right she is just a baby, she should still be playing with Barbies and drawing horses?
