If your ex is convicted of these charges, I would be very surprised if he did not get sentenced to jail and a substantial fine. These are felonies, very serious ones, with a minimum sentence of two years.
He needs a criminal defense attorney. One place to look for qualified counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
