Today I got caught for a blindingly stupid mistake I made. A week ago, I forged interim grade reports with Adobe Photoshop for some individuals and a teacher discovered this fact this afternoon. These interim grade reports are created by St. Johns county and distributed to students by the school. Unfortunately, many of the grades in the county's server had mysteriously become corrupted and I have been accused of hacking into the county grade server and altering grades. However, as I have stated, I did not do this, I created the replica interim reports with imaging software.

What charges may be brought against me? As of today I am 17 years old however I turn 18 tomorrow (May 10). Thank you for any help you may give.

Make sure you get legal counsel (or at least the public defender) to try to keep this off your record eventually--jail time is not likely if your record is clear now. But having that conviction on your record could make job-hunting etc. more difficult. Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision or even be dismissed etc. If it eventually appears it cannot be negotiated down, or you need to discuss this in more detail with senior counsel to review options etc., please let us know...
