There are many factors that are considered when deciding the outcome of this kind of case. His exact actions on the night of the event, what statements were made to the police, what his criminal record is, and how the jurisdiction where this occurred handles these cases are all factors that need to be considered. If the case proceeds forward with the charge as a felony, you can determine the sentencing range by using the calculations in the Virginia Sentencing Guidelines. Without knowing specific information such as criminal history, I can't give you more details.
