Hi, Freakladee!

What is quoted would appear to be the code in the State of Virginia. It's from the following site. Virginia Code 18.2-172 - Forging, uttering, etc., other writings - Virginia Virginia Code 18.2-172 - Forging, uttering, etc., other writings - Virginia Code :: Justia

Virginia Code § 18.2-172 - Forging, uttering, etc., other writings

If any person forge any writing, other than such as is mentioned in �� 18.2-168 and 18.2-170, to the prejudice of another's right, or utter, or attempt to employ as true, such forged writing, knowing it to be forged, he shall be guilty of a Class 5 felony. Any person who shall obtain, by any false pretense or token, the signature of another person, to any such writing, with intent to defraud any other person, shall be deemed guilty of the forgery thereof, and shall be subject to like punishment.

(Code 1950, � 18.1-96; 1960, c. 358; 1975, cc. 14, 15.)

Now, we would need to find the sentencing guidelines for a Class 5 felony. Hopefully, what would be available online from a reliable site would be up to date.

Thanks!
