State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 15191) – Felony Child Molestation (26 year old adult/14 year old minor) (Dangerous Crimes Against Children) – Not Charged – Glendale Police Department Investigated (DR No. 20XX-XXXXX8).
Mr. D’s 14 year old niece was in counseling when she disclosed that she had been molested as a child by her brother. Police began an investigation against her brother and a separate Police Report was filed. She then disclosed that she had also been molested by Mr. D when she was 14 years old while sitting on the couch. She claimed on one incident he had been his hand under her shirt and rubbed her breast. In another incident, she claimed he had put his hand down her pants and rubbed her vagina.
We were retained on the case and we began our investigation. We contacted the Glendale Police Department and indicated that our client was invoking his Right to Remain Silent, and he would not be taking an Polygraph Tests or Voice Stress Analysis Tests. We also had contact with the alleged victim’s mother, who claimed that she was doing well in counseling and she did not want to move forward with prosecution, because it would be damaging to her progress. Ultimately, the Detective inactivated the case due to our involvement and lack of defendant or victim cooperation. If Mr. D had been charged with these crimes and convicted, he could have spent decades in prison. He now has a clean record.
