NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION (DMC No. 3818) State v. Mr. C.: Mr. C. was accused by a neighbor in an apartment complex of touching the woman’s 10 year old daughter. Mr. C. was an elderly man who had heart problems. The alleged victim’s mother had been using drugs in the apartment and had been threatened with eviction numerous times. It appears this girl was making these charges in order to garner attention from her mother and other people in the complex. We were able to meet with Detectives, and we agreed to have our client submit to a polygraph. Due to Mr. C.’s heart condition and medications, the police polygrapher was unable to obtain an accurate polygraph. Once all issues were reviewed, we were able to convince the Detective to not file charges, protecting Mr. C. from facing the rest of his life in prison.
