Our client, the owner of a residential care facility, faced charges of forcible rape, forcible sodomy, forcible oral copulation, pimping, and pandering for payment involving an adult resident. The allegations also included a claim that our client had fathered the alleged victim’s newborn child. Before any determination of guilt, the allegations threatened the permanent closure of the facility and placed the client’s livelihood, employees, and residents at risk.
Our defense team conducted an extensive investigation that exposed substantial weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Armed with these findings, we aggressively challenged the prosecution’s evidence while also working to protect our client’s business from permanent closure.
Following the preliminary hearing, all charges were dismissed, sparing our client from a wrongful prosecution, preserving the operation of his care facility, and protecting the livelihood of those who depended on it.
