REDUCED | LURING A MINOR and CHILD PROSTITUTION REDUCED to PROBATION with 2 YEARS JAIL – State v. Mr. K.  (DMC No. 5618) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-136060): Mr. K. was accused of going online and soliciting a 14 year old for various sex acts for $100.  According to Detectives he raised that offer to $175 when he was told that the 14 year old was a virgin.  In reality, the 14 year old was an undercover Detective running a “sting” operation.  Because both counts were dangerous crimes against children (DCAC), Mr. K. was facing a minimum of 23 years in prison (day for day).  We were able to get the case reduced to probation, with 2 years of jail which involved furlough, allowing Mr. K. to be released during the day so he could work.
