Embarrassed to say, my boyfriend (20) and I (19) were caught in the Bay switching 10$ earrings with 20$ ones.. we paid the 10$.. and then we were caught by two sercurity guards.
We are banned from the Bay for a year..
Then they called the cops and we were charged with fraud under 5000$...
This is our first offence... (we live in ottawa, ontario)
What are the chances we are going to get charged and end up with a criminal record?

Charged - Very high
Criminal Record - depends on the attorney you get.

Scary
