Unfortunately this is more of a fact specific question than one someone would be able to answer just based upon the charges. With that being said, from what you've mentioned you're charged with all misdemeanors so probation is certainly an option. Some factors that may impact the DA's offer or the potential sentencing by the Judge if convicted at trial are, what your prior felony conviction is for, whether the complainant is cooperative in this case, the severity of the alleged conduct, the harm that's alleged to the complainant, your background information, among other factors. Your best bet here is to contact a criminal defense lawyer who can start negotiating with the DA's office on your behalf and who can fight for you at trial if need be.
