My husband is charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact in the third degree. He has already has his arraignment and been bailed out. He recently was also charged with Endangering the welfare of a minor in the third degree and got his arraignment date for that charge. I want to know if he will go back to jail after the arraignment for that charge.
