REDUCED | SEXUAL ASSAuLT REDUCED to “attempt” with probation and 1 year jail – State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 4572) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-037896): Mr. H. was accused of sneaking into his step-daughters room at night and touching her vagina. His step-daughter was 18 at the time, and she reported the incident to the police and her mother the very next day. A “confrontation call” was done where she contacted him by phone, and that call was recorded by police. He made admissions at that time, as well as after he was arrested and questioned by police. We were able to present substantial mitigating evidence in order to secure an offer to probation along with 1 year of jail, in which he was released during the day to go to work. He was originally facing up to 12.5 years in prison.
