What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Since my last post, my brother in law has been arrested and charged with four counts of statutory rape, and four counts of sexual assault on a minor. He currently resides at our county jail pending pre-trial in March. The judge posted bail at 20,000, with 200,000 thousand surety, at least thats what was printed in the paper. My father in law was present at the arraignment and he told us it was 1000 surety, dont know who to believe there. On the same day, another man was charged with one count of statutory rape and impregnating a minor, he was given 5000 cash bail, it seems my brother in laws bail is quite high. Could this be due to details of the case that we dont know about yet? You know he tells us that nothing happened, but the only ones who really know are himself and the girl. Apparently the state has something they found in his room, which was written by him, that is admissable as evidence against him. We dont know right now anything about the case, just what he's charged with. What kind of time is he looking at here if he is convicted? I'm not asking for him, he obviously has legal counsel now, I'm asking because I need to know what to expect, I need to be prepared, and I need to be there for my husband. I'm trying to find out anything I can. Please help me.
