State v. Mr. T (DMC No. 17886) – Felony Sexual Conduct with a Minor (35-Year-Old Adult/14-Year-Old Minor) Dangerous Crimes Against Children, and (2 Counts) Felony Child Molestation (DCAC) – Not Charged/”Turned Down” by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office – Glendale Police Department Investigated (DR No. IXXXXXXX4)

Mr. T had been married to a woman for a short period of time, and had a couple of  younger children and went through a very contentious Divorce. The Mother was a drug addict and was not in the kids’ lives, and lived outside of the house. Her Mother ended up adopting the grandkids from the prior marriage. The alleged Victim in this case claimed that when she was 14 years old, that she had been Molested and Sexually Abused by Mr. T.

Once he was contacted by Detectives, Mr. T retained the services of DM Cantor. We immediately requested copies of all the Police Reports. We also disclosed to the Detective that the alleged Victim had used methamphetamine, had multiple drug overdoses, and had received Inpatient Treatment at several pediatric treatment centers. In addition, at the current time the alleged Victim was in a Behavioral Health Inpatient Facility, and was transitioning from female to male. She also had lived in multiple Group Homes due to behavioral issues. 

Because the Maternal Grandmother was driving most of these allegations, we also showed her bias in the case. We presented the Detective with a “Trebus/Bashir” Letter which denied all of these allegations, and provided 14 talking points we wished to be presented to the Grand Jury. Ultimately, the case was still forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. The Deputy of Maricopa County Attorney made the decision to “Turn Down” the Prosecution. Had Mr. T been Charged and Convicted of 1 count of Felony Sexual Conduct with a Minor, and 2 counts of Felony Child Molestation (all three are Dangerous Crimes Against Children) he would have spent a minimum of 33 Years in Prison. Instead, he has No Criminal Record.
