In 2011 and 2012, our firm became involved in several high-profile sex-crimes cases, including a sexual battery (rape) of a minor, traveling to meet a minor, and multiple possession of child pornography charges. In one case, a Hillsborough County medical student was charged with traveling to meet a minor after police allegedly arranged a meeting between him and a child in an online sting. Our firm was able to get those felony sex charges reduced down to a misdemeanor after we raised several potential defenses to the State Attorney’s Office. The case was eventually resolved with out client receiving no conviction on any charge.

In another high-profile case, a Pasco man was charged with ten counts of possession of child pornography. He was facing up to fifty (50) years in Florida State Prison, and the offer from the State was three years in Florida State Prison. Our firm walked the client through all stages of the case and helped him obtain the treatment and therapy he needed. Eventually, he was given a probation-only sentence.
