What is the name of your state? GA
I called my girlfriends ex-boyfriend through the internet hundreds of times. The cops called me and I confessed because two weeks prior they told my girlfriend that if they found out who did it then they would just have to give an apology and pay like $100 to pay for researching phone records. I got arrested under the charge of harrassing phone calls. When I did it I considered it a prank but now I understand I could face a maximum fine of $3500 and a year in prison. I feel kind of screwed because what I did was not a big deal in my eyes and I was very honest and easy to deal with. If I didnt confess I probably could of got away with it because my phone number only showed up on the call records one time because I called through the internet using a website. This is my first offense and I was wondering if I have any options in getting the case dropped or if I can get a very low punihsment/fine because my real life is already strenuous enough. What likely punishment can I expect? Is it possible to plead no lo? Should I just go in and plead guilty and hope for the best? It kills me knowing I will have a criminal record now.
