I have a friend who has been accused of rape in North Carolina, while attending school. This happen about 6 months ago - he was questioned about 5 days afterwards, then he left the college about 3 weeks afterwards and heard nothing about issue for months. His lawyer stated no charges had been filed and he did not think they would. He was recently contact about 3 weeks ago via his lawyer who was approached by the DA. The DA has offered a plea bargin of misdemeanor with registation as a sex offender. My question is if he takes it to avoid court and possible felony charges how does that affect his life. He is currently in college, what are his restrictions on applying for jobs, can he join the miltary etc. Can he be kicked out of school? How does it affect him if he later on in life moved to a different state and such. Can you expunge a charge like that later on in life. Let's say 10 or 15 years with nothing happening or is it forever.
