Los Angeles Felony Lewd Act With a Child Lawyer Success # 2
Our client, a male age 13, was charged with a violation of Penal Code § 288 (Felony Lewd or Lascivious Acts) for allegedly masturbating to ejaculation while touching the vagina of a three year old girl that he was baby-sitting. Evidence of semen from our client was gathered from a trash can in the young girl’s home. There was no penetration. The girl was not physically injured.
Our client wrote a detailed confession to the police almost immediately after being arrested.
Our client had no prior record of any sort and was a good student, so the charges were deeply confusing to our client’s parents, especially because the maximum sentence facing our client was eight years and registration as a sexual offender, which would follow him the rest of his life.
The case was filed in Inglewood Juvenile Court. The District Attorney viewed the case as extremely serious, but the judge agreed with our office that a psychological evaluation was appropriate first and foremost. Such an expert examination was then conducted, the results of which revealed leniency in punishment was proper.
Our client’s family was extremely relieved when he was released on probation, sentence stayed, to home arrest, but required to wear an anklet to track his movement. Our client was also reassigned to a different school while on probation and required to undergo psychological counseling for the indefinite future to improve impulse control issues.
