Charges dismissed for client accused of sexual battery on a child
Our client thought his life was over when he was arrested for serious sex offenses. We were upfront with him that the facts did not look good at first. But that is why investigation is so important. We coordinated a polygraph (lie-detector) test for him which he passed. We investigated the history of the complaining witness and discovered that they had been tragically abused by others and had also lied about very serious events at other times. We also forced the government to retrieve records that revealed even more credibility issues. Faced with a mountain of exculpatory evidence, the government finally agreed to dismiss all charges.
Charges: Two counts of Sexual Battery, One count of false imprisonment
Time Faced: 35 years in prison
Result: All charges dismissed
