My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
My 12 yr old son was assaulted by a group of kids at a park 3 blocks from my home. He and 2 other friends were playing when a group of kids ages 14-17 approached them, harrassed them, called them names. My son and his friends tried to leave but they grabbed my son pushed him around some, put him in a headlock, the 16 yr old boy told him that he couldnt leave until he performed a sexual act on him. They pushed him and forcefully tried walking him behind a building, all the time telling him what he was going to do (oral sex), this same kid also threated to hit him upside the head with a hard baseball that he had in his hand if he attempted to leave. My son was terrifed.
When my son started crying, one of the girls that was with the group of bullys, told them to let him go, and thankfully they did, he is very afraid of this group and wouldve been traumatized for life!
He came home, I called the police, filed a report and I will be filing charges on the 16 yr old. The detective says they probably will not be able to charge him with criminal sexual conduct bc the threat wasnt carried out (thank god!), but they will charge him with assault.
My question is---
What kind of punishment will this kid get?
Can I get a restraining order?
If anyone has advice, please help.
