State v. Ms. G (DMC No. 5530)

CHILD ABUSE DISMISSED – State v. Ms. G. (DMC No. 5530) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-115311): Ms. G.’s daughter reported to being molested by her biological father, as well as her step father.  When police questioned Ms. G., she denied any knowledge of the biological father molesting her daughter.  She did, however, state that she had some knowledge of her daughter making a previous allegation against her step father.

The step father was eventually arrested and admitted to molesting the step daughter.  Ms. G. was charged with child abuse for not immediately reporting her daughter’s allegations to police.  We were able to show that Ms. G. was reasonable in not believing her daughters claims, as she had investigated them back when it was first reported.  All charges were dismissed against Ms. G.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 6747)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ABUSE/CHILD ABUSE  – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 6747) (Mesa PD & CPS Investigated) : Mr. S. had custody of his two grade school children due to his ex-wife being a drug addict and abandoning them.  While at the school nurses office, the older sister stated that Mr. S. had struck the younger child with a belt.  In addition, she claimed that he once touched her breasts.  CPS and Mesa PD became involved, and they took photos and questioned Mr. S.  We became involved on the case, and we’re able to show that the son was ADHD and Mr. S. had not abused the child when he disciplined him for bad behavior.  In addition, we showed that the contact with the older daughter was not of a sexual nature.  No charges were ever brought against Mr. S.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 6764)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ASSAULT/VULNERABLE ADULT ABUSE – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 6764) (Glendale PD Investigated): Mr. B. had been married for over 30 years when his step-daughter moved into the same trailer park complex that he lived in.  She was currently under the treatment of “Value Options” for having a mental disability.  They began having a sexual relationship that was consensual, and then she became enraged when he would not loan her money.  She then reported the sexual conduct to Value Options and stated that she was not only sexual assaulted since she had moved into the trailer park, but also 30 years earlier when she was only 14.  Glendale Police investigated and we presented evidence of her attempted extortion.  When they went back to speak with the alleged victim, she no longer wished to aid in prosecution, and no charges were ever brought.  Mr. B. would have been facing decades in prison if he were charged and convicted.

State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 6772)

NOT CHARGED | SEX ASSAULT/VULNERABLE ADULT ABUSE – State v. Mr. R. (DMC No. 6772) (Phoenix PD Investigated): Mr. R. had been married for 13 years, and he had a 36 year old step-daughter who was mentally handicapped and lived in a group home.  His wife accused him of having a sexual relationship with the step-daughter, and Detectives were contacted.  The step-daughter would not cooperate with police, and she also had changed her story that she had originally told to her mother.  We were able to invoke Mr. R.’s 5th Amendment rights, and the Detective had to deal directly with us.  The Detective determined there was “insufficient evidence”, and the case was never sent to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for charging.  If convicted, Mr. R. would have faced multiple years in prison.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No.7257)

REDUCED to Misdemeanor Endangerment – Child Abuse, State v. Mr. B. (DMC No.7257) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR 2007-005374): Mr. B. had gone through a divorce with his ex-wife and had custody of his 6 year old daughter. He had gone to work and left his 6 year old at home because the babysitter had canceled. When his ex-wife found out, she contacted police. When police came to the house, they discovered the house in a state of disarray, and they felt Mr. B. had been neglecting/abusing his daughter. After hiring us, we were able to show that the most he should be charged with was an Endangerment. Ultimately the prosecutor agreed and the case was plead down to a Class 6 Undesignated Endangerment, which turned into a Misdemeanor after Mr. B. successfully completed one year of probation.

State v. Ms. K (DMC No. 958)

State v. Ms. K. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 98-095353CR): Ms. K. brought her 10 week old infant into the hospital where doctors discovered he had from 5 broken ribs, a fractured femur, and fractures to each wrist, all approximately 1 week old. Ms. K. was initially the suspect, and was charged with very serious charges and facing years in prison. Ms. K. denied ever hurting her child, and we were able to show that the injuries were most likely caused by the baby’s father (who was not married to Ms. K.). Because the baby had been crying for days prior to her bringing him into the hospital, we were able to get the charges reduced to a low level child abuse for failure to seek immediate medical attention. Ms. K. was sentenced to probation with zero days jail. After she completed probation, the charge was designated as a Misdemeanor.

State v. Mr. M (DMC No.)

(A483683CR): Mr. M. had been going through a messy divorce and he had dropped off his son at a YMCA day camp. The son had ADHD, and was not happy about the divorce. He told the counselor that his father had hit him, and the counselor called CPS and police. Mr. M. stated that he had simply spanked him for misbehaving. We were able to show CPS and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that this did not rise to the level of Child Abuse, and all charges were dismissed.
