How long is a piece of string? How great and how deliberate was the criminal damage? If you had inflicted very minor damage through an act of carelessness, then you might find yourself with a minor penalty and a compensation order, whereas if you had done something major with malicious intent (like pouring acid all over someone's car) you might even be facing a term of imprisonment with a compensation order hanging over your head to be sorted out on your release.

It doesn't matter that you've only had a fine in the past.You've broke the law-allegedly, and as such, have to face the consequences.

What are you alleged to have damaged? What age are you? The sentence you'll receive will take into account your remorse,your ability to pay a fine and/or compensation, your suitablilty for a community punishment.

You'll have a lawyer, right? If not, then get one and they'll advise you on possible outcomes etc.

my son got charged for criminal damage and he is a minor.He got 6months probation and community hours.But you have previous charge my son did not.And what is your age.It really does depend on the judge as well as you lawyer.
