A close member of my family was convicted of rape third in new york about a year ago. In the time since then he has committed a probation violation which is unknown to anyone but the victim. Now the victim is blackmailing him in order to make him wait to be with her. He wants to move and is wondering if he moves to another state and does not contact her, can he get in trouble with his new probation officer in his new state, or will he have a clean slate? He wants to move and restart his family, he has a wife and kids, but this girl is preventing him from doing so. Advice beyond the realm of get a lawyer and turn self in...or is that really the only option?
