    Multiple fraud charges
    A friend charged with three counts of fraud under 5. a month later received additional 3 charges of fraud under 5k and a fourth of the defrauding the public over 5k. A month later received an additional four charges under 5k. About six weeks after that received 2 more charges,1 for obtaining credit true false pretense over 5k,and possessing proceeds of crime over 5k for the money that was borrowed deceitfully. Except the last 2 over 5k all of those charges we're from taking deposits from customers to provide product and service.when he did not do. He is a first time offender but with the time between charges does it still fall under the first time offense. Is there a chance he will be able to do weekends or community service. He can not prove an ability to make restitution. Is there a chance he will go to jail? He is from Ontario

    Hello k:

    With a good lawyer, all the charges can probably be lumped together.. Probation is a possibility. Work release too.
