State v. Mr. P (DMC No. 17474) – Felony Child Molestation (Dangerous Crimes Against Children) 45-year-old alleged Molest of a 7-year-old, and Felony Sexual Conduct with a Minor (DCAC) – Not Charged/”Case Closed” by Mesa Police Department – Mesa PD Investigated (Case No. DR20XX-XXXXXX9)
Mr. P had been married to a woman who had a child from a previous relationship. He then ultimately got a Divorce, and when the girl turned 17, she claimed she had been Molested 8 to 10 years prior by Mr. P. Specifically, she claimed multiple incidents involving him touching her vagina, and forcing her to perform oral sex on him.
Officers contacted Mr. P, who volunteered to speak with them and waived his Miranda Rights. He denied all of the claims, and when they asked him to do Voice Stress Analysis test, he Invoked his Right to Counsel. Shortly thereafter, he secured the services of DM Cantor.
We were able to get records showing that years earlier the same girl claimed that her biological father had Molested her. It was Mr. P who took her to counseling for that particular allegation. When the Detectives went back to ask the alleged victim about this, she said she had previously “lied” and that it was not her biological father who Molested her, it was Mr. P.
We also were able to show the Detectives that she kept changing her story from the Molestation and Sexual Conduct happening in Mesa, Arizona, to happening in Utah. Mr. P never lived in Utah, as he remained in Mesa, Arizona after the Divorce took place. Due to all of the discrepancies in the alleged victim’s story, we were able to convince the Mesa Police Detective to “Close” the case. It was never routed to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for prosecution. Because of this, Mr. P has No Arrest or Criminal Record.
