NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH MINOR (DCAC) – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 10209) (Phoenix PD Investigated): Mr. S. was over 18 and began a relationship with a girl who claimed to be 18 years old on Craig’s List. They met multiple times, and she sent multiple text to him stating she was 18. In actuality, the girl was 16, and her mother found out about the relationship. Police investigated and we provided information that this girl had been holding herself out as 18 to Mr. S. Because of a defense that exists by statute for alleged victims who are 15, 16, or 17 who hold themselves out as 18 or above, we were able to convince the Detective not to file charges.
