i live in california. i was a domestic voilence victim, so i went to the police and filed a report. well the same day, i was coerced by my boyfriend into telling the police it was a lie, and they gave me a citation for a misdemeanor of filing a false report. i dont want to go to jail but i also dont want to turn my boyfriend in. so i was wondering what the usual sentence is for this crime ive been charged with. i know the max is 6 months in jail and $1000 dollars, but i know i dont deserve to go to jail! i also have one prior coviction on my record for theft.
