NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION – State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 8881) (Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office Investigated): Mr. C. and his wife were friends with another woman and her boyfriend. All of them were at Mr. C.’s house, along with their children when they had stayed overnight. Approximately two weeks later, the woman’s ex-husband called Mr. C. and accused him of touching his 11 year old daughter who had spent the night there previously. Mr. C. denied this, got off the phone and immediately contacted his wife and the child’s mother. The call that he had received was a tape recorded call set up by the Maricopa County Sherriff’s Office as a “Confrontation Call”. We became involved and discovered that the alleged victim did not like living with her mother and wanted to move back with her father. We met with Detectives and offered to do a Voice Stress Analysis and a Polygraph test. After this “free talk” was conducted, the County Attorney’s Office declined to file any charges. Mr. C. had been facing a minimum of 20 years in prison based on the allegations.
