I have been reported for occupational breach of trust, so I have a question about a criminal attorney.

My younger sibling has been reported for occupational breach of trust and is said to have to undergo a police investigation. He says he was reported for occupational breach of trust and is asking me to help cover the cost of retaining an attorney. If someone is reported for occupational breach of trust and undergoes a police investigation, what happens? Does he immediately serve a prison term? If he retains an attorney and receives help with the breach of trust charge, is it possible for him to avoid punishment?
