My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
Hi, first run in with serious potential criminal issues.
I had recently left a job after they had suspected of me embezzling very small amounts of cash by altering cash paying transactions and keeping the money. It falls under petty theft, and I did not sign any admission of guilt, nor once uttered the words that I was guilty. No arrests were made, and there is no actual "proof" of me taking cash from a register, via camera or visible witness. just a bunch of numbers that were not adding up which lead to their "investigation" When I finally got wind of suspicion, i resigned. My employer had told me that no charges were being pursued however now has been contacting me via email/text demanding I pay restitution and a much heftier sum than even thought to be taken. Is this an attempt to get an admission of guilt from me? I have not responded but am also not sure how to proceed from here. Should I seek hiring a legal council and direct all further matters from my former employer to my lawyer? What is the worst case scenario given the stated facts? Is my employer bluffing because they do not have enough to file an actual legal report against me?
