REDUCED | SEUXAL CONDUCT with a MINOR (8 counts) REDUCED to class 6 open/misdemeanor with PROBATION and 4 MONTHS of JAIL – State v. Ms. L. (DMC No. 8960) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2008-171392): Ms. L. was a 26 year old female who had a consensual sexual relationship with a 16 year old female.  The relationship had lasted several months, and it was disclosed to a counselor.  She was eventually arrested and charged with 8 counts of Sexual Conduct with a Minor, and was facing 18 years in prison.  We were able to have Ms. L. enrolled in counseling during the pendency of her case, and it was discovered that she herself had been molested at age 5 and 12 by other females.  Through the process of “mitigation”, we were able to secure a class 6 open/misdemeanor offer which included probation and 4 months jail.  After she completes probation, her case will be designated a misdemeanor.
