    None of the charges relate to it because he wasn’t arrested for the sex tape, they found out about it while investigating the theft. Any charges for the sex tape will be done separate. They don’t lump charges for crimes together unless the second crime was committed along with the first.

      I’m of the mind that if the girl was in his age group it shouldn’t even matter. But we don’t know so whatever.

      I’m just saying that they should be talking about the 22 charges for thieft and etc, not a what if video.

      If a person has a pending charge and pick up a new one unrelated to the first, unless there is some procedural or legal conflict, the two cases can be (and often are) combined for judicial expediency as it will be the same judge and prosecutor (and public defender if that applies) on both cases. Also, sometimes one jury can hear both charges, and sometimes they need to be tried separately, and that can depend on a variety of factors.
