fraud charges for out of state checks

our 16 year old daughter was asked to cash 5 out of state checks by a person, using her savings account for calateral. the bank accepted the checks and cashed them, even though her savings account only had about $10.00 in it. the total of the checks are $1,750.00. The checks bounced and our daughter (and us her parents) are responsible to pay the bank back. We want to press fraud charges against this person, and get our money back. We are sure this person has no money to pay us back, what are the chances of him serving jail time instead? We live in Sierra Vista, Arizona, his bank account is located in Mobil, Alabama, our bank is wells fargo bank.

You can only sue the person for your losses, you have no legal authority to seek incarceration for this person. The Constitution grants only government entities the right to try and jail those that break the laws. I appears your daughter is going to learn an expensive lesson.
