REDUCED | 7 COUNTS of SEXUAL MISCONDUCT with a MINOR and 1 COUNT of FURNISHING HARMFUL or OBSCENE MATERIALS to a MINOR REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. T. (DMC No. 9519) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2009-174270): Mr. T. was a 34 year old male who began a sexual relationship with his 17 year old cousin. While they were in a hotel parking lot, police made contact with him and began questioning him as to why he was in the area. They ultimately discovered that the two of them had engaged in sexual conduct inside of the motel. They also later discovered through interviews that this had happened on numerous occasions and that pornography had also been shared between the two of them. Mr. T. was ultimately charged with 7 counts of Sexual Conduct with a Minor pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 13-1405 and 1 count of Furnishing Harmful Obscene Materials to a Minor under Arizona Revised Statute 13-3506. Because of the questionable nature of the stop we were able to convince the prosecutor to extend the plea which included a small amount of Probation and zero days in jail. This was a very advantageous plea given the fact that Mr. T. was 21 years older than his cousin.
