    Unhappy Attempted sexual assualt of my wife

    I have a question about a charge i have against me. My wife and I are separated and trying to work things out. We both just returned from being away from each other 6 months for army training. We got into an argument at my apartment that led to me holding her down trying to kiss her and tugging at her clothes. During the arguement i removed my pants. I know it sounds pretty bad and all, but my intentions were not to "rape" my wife. i just knew it would anger her. I also had a video camera in the room but i set it up hopeing she would confess to infedelity so I could use it against her. Afterwards she said she thought I was trying to rape her for real and so i got upset and called the police. I never meant to hurt her and I was feeling really bad. I gave the police the tape. I never admitted to trying to rape or sexually assualt her. I did say that i was just trying to piss her off because she had just told me of her seeing someone else. I was arrested for attempted sexual assualt. I spent a week in jail then was bonded out. As soon as I got out she called me saying she never meant it to go that far and she would do anything to stop it from being a big deal. It was all a spur of the moment deal and her being mad at me made it look real bad. I spoke to my Commander who is also an svu detective in austin tx. He said that if she wrote a letter and got it notorized saying she wanted to drop the charges and that she didnt want anything to do witht the investigation that the DA might drop the charges. My wife whole heartedly agreed to that and doesnt want a minute of frustration to turn into what I think Im headed for. My question is with what is against me do I have any chance at all. My career in the army is pretty much over I know, but the sentence is up to 25 years I believe. I just need some help. Anything would be nice. Thank you.

    If offers to drop charges that works in your favor as well as any testimony she may give in your behalf. However your intent cannot be proved and video shows a sexual assault! However if your wife drops charges it is not likely DA will pursue it.

    Thank you,
    Like I said, any help is good help. I appreciate any info or comments anyone has. Im kinda in the dark and ive just found out that the court has denied me an appointed attorney so I dont have a legal representative to discuss my options with as of yet. Im pretty sure its not going to happen any time soon seeing as most are looking for at least 7500.00 just as a retainer. I dont have anywhere near that much laying around. So anything you could add or suggest will be greatly appreciated.

    How do i find out if its my wife pressing charges or the state? She said she was never asked if she wanted to press charges. She said the detective told her that the state of texas would automatically pick it up. Im very confused. My wife doesnt want anything to do with sending me away and we have reconciled our relationship but now it doesnt seem like that is going to matter because of a few confused mistakes. Granted they were big ones but what happened to no harm no foul? Im not very legal savvy so and i dont know how the justice system works as far as felonys and who files charges. HELP

    Even if a DA picks up case once he talks with your wife he is likely to drop case ony evidence is video and if you and your wife are still together how does that look to a jury!
