What is the Punishment for criminal trespass?


I entered my H.S. at night with some friends, after I left they stole our school mascot. I was charged with burglary at first, but then they found out I wasn't involved and dropped my charge to a class E criminal trespass. I am Planning on leaving the country to Volunteering in the fall before returning for school, I am wondering what the sentencing could be, how to go about getting a "strait sentence", and also if there is a possibility I would not be able to leave. This was my first offense, also I co-operated with the police.

I'd say you more than likely won't be able to leave the country. Rather it was just stealing a mascot the laws are so different these days.. You need to contact a lawyer.. And if you attempt to leave the country they will do a back ground chek and more than likely you won't be able to leave! Not sure..
Contact a lawyer!
The real question is? did you learn anything from this???

In Virginia it's a class one misdemeanor. That means you could face up to a year in jail. If it's your first time usually they'll just make you do like community service and be of good behavior for awhile.

I don't know if this would affect you going abroad. You need to consult with a lawyer to find out...

Most likely an amended charge (reduced to an Ordinance violation) and a fine.
