Can I be sued if someone I was with was arrested for theft and I was not?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
It is possible you could have been criminally charged, but since the police don't know your name it is unlikely. (If your friend gave them your name you could be charged). You cannot be sued by her parents.

Don't do anything. Keep your mouth shut. Don't even mention your fears to your friend. Her parents have no grounds to sue you but they may want you to be punished too, so don't ever bring up the subject to anyone. Act like this never happened.
