So, having the worst luck in the world, I have found myself in a strange and possibly tragic position. I am set to start my residency in June/July1. However, two weeks ago, I was notified by the police that my IP ws traced back for online harassment (something I did not do.) To make matters worse, I come from a very small area, so I actually do, by coincidence, know the victim (hello fate conspiring against me). Unfortunately, like an idiot, my wireless router was open and I live in a large apartment complex - so god knows who actually did this. I have explained this to the cops (as well as the fact that I don't possess any of the pictures in question) but this is still under investigation. Thus far, no charges have been filed. If they are filed, however, it is a Class 1 Misdemeanor.
Stupidity aside on having an open wireless network in a tightly packed apartment complex, I have to ask - what should I do?
No charges have been filed yet, but what if they are filed before residency starts...it could be months before a trial. I'm pretty assured that, if it were to go to trial, I would be cleared, but what would happen to me and my medical residency (in another state, mind you) while this is going on? What if, in the worst case scenario, I were convicted in the end?
Just wondering what my future looks like as I've been freaking out for the past couple weeks and am not sure what to do. Any info (especially from a PD) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you . Sorry if this is the wrong section.
