Question

Answer 1

Every state is different as far as the juvenile punishment laws.  With that said, it is my experience that a person in your situation will likely receive probation, which includes community service, monthly reporting, and a no-contact order with the victim.  If lucky, you could receive an informal adjustment, which is a pre-trial diversion wherein after you complete community service etc. the charges could be dismissed.  After completion of whatever punishment, when you turn 18 you can request the court seal your juvenile record.  Good luck
