Bribery for Assault case.

Just a thought if the contract included a confidentiality clause it has been breached.

A confidentiality clause would almost certainly be included in a contract of the sort agreed to here, especially if the mom had an attorney help with the drafting.

The wording and the terms of the agreement are important and the 19 year old should reread the agreement carefully to make sure she doesn't inadvertently breach the terms and lose all of the money.

It seems safe to say that the money should not be touched until the 19 year old reaches the age of 21, though.

I suspect that the reason for that clause was because the statute of limitations expires when she turns 21. The parents of the assaulter would have no reason to hold the money until she turned 21 unless it was to their son's advantage. She needs to be prepared to take the money out of the account the day of her 21st birthday to ensure that the assaulters parents don't take the money out themselves.

If the assault was a sexual assault of a minor, there is a 10 year statute of limitations starting when the minor turns 18.

I didn't get that vibe. They were basically the same age.

Then, if not a sexual assault, and not another felony assault (all with 10 year statute of limitations), the statute of limitations for a misdemeanor assault is one year.

Either way, age 21 does not appear to signify anything advantageous for the son/assaulter.

My post was just a nice way to tell the OP to tell his friend to, "Shut Up".
