You need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.  The crime of sexual battery carries horrible consequences if you plead guilty or are found guilty.  In GA, all misdemeanors carry up to 12 months and jail and a $1,000 fine.  Additionally, you could be looking at other consequences as this is a sex crime under GA law.
