State v. Ms. G (DMC No. 16281) – Felony Sexual Conduct with a Minor (Dangerous Crimes Against Children) – Not Charged – Gilbert Police Department Investigated (DR No. 20XX-XXXXXXXX1).
Ms. G’s parents retained our services after learning of an allegation being made by a child that Ms. G’s mother cared for at an in-home care facility. The child making the allegation was a 5-year old boy who had accused Ms. G, his caregiver’s 15-year old Juvenile daughter, of forcing the 5-year old to kiss her vagina.
Upon being retained, our Pre-Charge Team, met and discussed the allegations and the actions to be taken moving forward. We immediately got Ms. G in for a Polygraph examination where the questions stemmed around whether Ms. G had ever touched the 5-year old in a sexual manner or had ever had the 5-year old touch her in a sexual manner. We also immediately reached out to the Detective and advised our representation. In order to put together a Trebus Bashir Letter, we visited the home where the allegations allegedly occurred – our client’s home. We took photographs of the home to understand both the size of the home as well as the location where the care of the children took place.
After receiving all of this information and having detailed discussions with Ms. G and her parents, we drafted a 35 point/bullet pointed Trebus Bashir Letter explaining to the Detective that Ms. G denied the allegations, that the allegations could not have occurred in the manner being described by the 5 year old given the layout of the home and the at home daycare facility, and the fact that Ms. G was never near the children. In that letter, the passed Polygraph from our client was provided. Based on the information provided to the Detective in the Trebus Bashir Letter, the Detective “cleared” the case as “inactive.”
