Customer:
is that my best option? one of the people that robbed me is also a minor,how will this effect the situation? and what about the slander?
Customer:
you also did not address the situation of the person claiming that i paid them to rob/harass/threaten one of the families, and charges possibly being filed against me.
Michael J, Esq. :
Thanks. I'll address all that in a moment.
Michael J, Esq. :
The perpetrator being a minor will mean that he is prosecuted in juvenile court. He can still be ordered to pay the money.
Michael J, Esq. :
If the two perpetrators are slandering you, you can file a case for defamation against them. Defamation is when a party makes an untrue statement against you that damages your reputation. To prevail, you would need to prove they lied, and the lie damaged your reputation. I don't suggest going this route. It's expensive, and hard to prove.
Michael J, Esq. :
As far as the charges being filed, there is nothing I can comment about that, because I don't know exactly what happened. All I can say is do not speak to anyone about anything you did. If you happen to be arrested, immediately ask for a lawyer, and they have to cease questioning you. Don't speak to anyone about anything, except a lawyer.

I wish you the best of luck! Don't forget to press ACCEPT if my Answer was helpful. If you need me to clarify my Answer or ask a follow up question, just ask! My goal is to provide an outstanding Answer, so give me a chance.
