A "NOLLE PROSEQUI" is not a dismissal of the charges. It only means that, for whatever reason, it was the prosecutor's decision to decline to prosecute. His actions in the "nolle" do not mean the charges "go away" and his decision is subject to review by higher authority (e.g.- his superiors or a judicial officer). His decision COULD be over-ruled and the charges re-instituted. As far as a judge acting as a prosecutor - more information would have to be included as to exactly what the questioner is asking, or they mean by that statement.

How do you find out why a case was nolle prossed?

Nolle Prossed means that the Prosecutor dropped the case before a judge or jury could make a decision. Maybe even before going to trial. This is a discretionary act by the Prosecutor, which occurs outside the formal proceedings of the court. Therefore, there would be no public record of how or why the prosecutor made this decision. Perhaps you could submit a public records request, but I would think they are not accessible. *** As a GAL I actually had to do this recently for a case in another state many years ago. I contacted the clerk of court - they found the record and gave me the D.A.'s name who handled the case. There was a court case even though it was NP. I called the D.A. - since it was a closed case - he gave me some basic info on the reason it wasn't prosecuted. Hope that helps someone.

How much is the penalty charges for act of lasciviousness offense in case of amicable settlement?

A more exact description of the offense will have to be given other than an "act of lasciviousness." From the description, it sounds like a sexual assault charge - a criminal offense. If that, in fact. is the case it makes no difference whether you and the victim decide to settle amicably or not. You will have to deal with the prosecutor in order to get the charge reduced or Nolle Prosse'd.
