<human>: Original posts for background if anyone cares to be filled in:

She did not want to press charges but we filed a report.  We just wanted him to at least be in the system since she didn't want it to escalate and involve/affect her family life.  The first occurrence was classified as a misdemeanor (the one I want to ask about) and the second was rape (which occurred in a different city, different jurisdiction, and we decided not to follow up with because of the family thing and also it was so long ago, he said she said ordeal with no witnesses etc.)

Anyways, the police have contacted him and I THINK he's been hit with a misdemeanor... if not a rape charge?  We just want to know what usually happens at this point?  What should we be prepared for to happen?  Will it escalate even though we didn't want it to?  What exactly happens to him?  We are very unfamiliar with the process and would just like some answers for the many questions we have.  Thank you for your time.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
