My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Maryland
I am a minor and was recently caught dealing drugs. I regret ever going near drugs, but its to late now for that. They let me go without arresting me as they see how naive I am and that I ultimately regret my actions. They say I still need to go in front of a judge with possible repercussions of my acts. This is not my concern. My iPhone had information on many illegal things. Things I never did or would have ever done. I in my spare time would research all of these things and copy information on how to do these things and get away with them. I signed up for illegal websites were I gathered information from the websites as a hobby. I was planning on dealing drugs through one of the sites. Are all of the things on my phone able to be used against me. They confiscated my phone and are going to use it as evidence. I understand the bad things I have done and regret them, but I know that I have made my own bed with this one. Is the fact that in my phone I speak as if I was a person who committed all of these crimes which I never would think of, able to be used against me?
As a side note, my girlfriend who is 16 years old,(as am I), sent me naked pictures via text. Can either of us get in trouble for that.
If you answer my question it would provide relief for me. I have not been able to sleep more than an hour for the past few days and I am more afraid now then I have ever been of anything. If the outcome of this whole experience is that I get off, I will never look in the direction of such things again. I have already put into motion the things that will make me able to go back to school and live a successful life as a upstanding member of society. I just hope one day when I have kids, my experiences will help guide them in the right direction, as I now have been by my own error. I pray I am not jailed for my acts, but understand I am very deserving.
I told the detective who spoke to me about the pictures and they didn't seem to care about them. He completely dismissed it. Although at the time I dont believe I mentioned the person in said pictures was under-age.
I was also told over and over again I am not going to Jail. In fact I was told I most likely will have to take class's on drugs, but that is all. One other detective told me It is very possible I will be dealing with hard time depending on what they uncover from my phone.
