Asked 7/8/2016 – Laredo, TX

Ok so my boyfriend has been charge with 2 counts of sexual assault child. And he is only 19 I don’t really know the full story but I know he did not do anything. His bond is set for $200,000. I cant really afford it not even a lawyer. I really want to help him get out any advice please I’m in need of help right now.

Answer

You can be emotionally supportive of you boyfriend, but short of retaining an attorney to represent him, there is not much you can do legally to help him. Just because he has been charged with an offense, does not mean he is guilty. He has a right to deny the allegations and have trial. If he is in jail, an attorney will be appointed to represent him. This will be a long process, so be there to support him.
