I cant read that because of the freaking filter.......what does it say??
I dont know what misdeamenors he's facing.....but, I do know that its easy to say 'no big deal' when the problem isnt yours. I think any kind of legal stuff, small or big, is crap when you're the one dealing with it.

Vick charged with four misdemeanor counts

Teammates Mike Imoh and Brenden Hill each face three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor

Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick and two teammates have been charged with multiple counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Vick, tailback Mike Imoh, and wide receiver Brenden Hill each were served warrants and released on $2,500 bonds.
According to a joint statement from Commonwealth’s Attorney Joey Showlater and the Blacksburg Police Department, Vick was charged with four counts and Imoh and Hill each were charged with three. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is considered a class one misdemeanor.
The charges stem from a Jan. 27 incident in which two girls, ages 14 and 15, accused the trio charged of serving them and a friend alcohol at Vick’s apartment.
In an affidavit filed on Jan. 29, the two girls said they danced and took off pieces of their clothing in front of Hill and Imoh as they took pictures.
Also in the affidavit, the two girls said their friend, 15, went into a bedroom with Vick and participated in sexual intercourse with him.
According to the Code of Virginia, contributing to the delinquency of a minor includes acts by any person over the age of 18 encouraging anything that would render a child delinquent or in need of services. Also included in the code is a clause pertaining to engaging in consensual intercourse with a child 15 years or older.
If found guilty, the maximum punishment for contributing to the delinquency of a minor is up to one year in prison plus a $2,500 fine.
After the affidavit was filed by two of the girls, a search warrant was granted to officials to search Vick’s apartment, located in the Chase Apartment Complex.
Upon completion of the search, among the items seized were bed sheets, condom wrappers, paper towels, a digital camera with a memory stick and a Virginia Operators License issued to Michael Vick.
Marc Long, Vick’s attorney and Christopher Tuck, Imoh’s attorney, made no comments pertaining to the arrests.
According to the Corrective Action Plan of Virginia Tech, athletes are not automatically suspended for misdemeanor charges. Any convictions would subsequently lead to a review by the athletic director. Any decisions would be in the hands of the director.
The charges are pending and no further comment could be made by the Blacksburg Police Department and the Commonwealth’s Attorney.

Thanks for posting that. Contributing to a minor is one of those offenses that rides the fence. I've known people who get ain a ton of trouble for it and people who barely get a slap on the wrist. So, who knows. Although, the fact that they are in the public eye on a daily basis....well, they probably shouldnt have put themselves in that position. I know I wouldnt have....
