Lake County Juvenile Crimes Your Child Could be Charged With
The most common juvenile crime is theft, or shoplifting. Other common juvenile crimes include:
- Violations of Illinois liquor laws;
- Sexting;
- Theft;
- Criminal trespass;
- School fights;
- Truancy from school;
- Simple assault;
- Underage drinking/DUI;
- Drug possession; and
- Possession of a fake ID.
Perhaps the one crime that most juveniles and parents lack information about is “sexting.” A young person can be arrested and charged with a felony—even child pornography—for taking a photo or video of themselves in a sexually explicit situation, then sharing it with their boyfriend/girlfriend or others via a phone or computer. In rarer cases, your child could be charged with a more adult crime such as solicitation, rape, attempted murder, weapons offenses, burglary or sexual assault. Attorney Gebhardt understands just how stressful these charges are, and will do his best to alleviate your fears regarding the outcome of your child’s charges.
