ONE COUNT OF CONTINUOUS SEXUAL ABUSE OF A MINOR; THREE COUNTS OF AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR; TWO COUNTS OF INDECENCY OF A MINOR BY CONTACT/EXPOSURE
Our client was charged with 7 counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He was facing 25 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The CW was his biological daughter. She made an outcry that he has been sexually abusing her dozens of times for years.
Our client proclaimed his innocence from the beginning and demanded his right to a jury trial. We believed in him and fought with everything we had to win. After 7 days of trial, we received a unanimous not guilty verdict from the jury on all counts, acquitting our client.
During the trial, we exposed the lies of the complaining witness (CW) and her mom, the client's ex-wife. Our client had gone through a very bitter and contentious divorce from his ex-wife and this was one of the main reasons the CW falsely accused our client.
Our client is a veteran with no criminal history.
Cases like this, where our client is looking at having his life totally destroyed by the government based on false allegations of abuse, is why we do what we do. It was an honor to be part of giving our client his life back.
