Felony Indecent Assault and Battery
Assault and Battery on Ambulance, Multiple Counts
Client faced serious felony charges following an incident during a medical emergency. While experiencing a medical crisis, ambulance personnel transported Client from his home. During the transport, he was intoxicated and disoriented. According to police reports, Client allegedly made inappropriate comments and touched a paramedic in an area that suffices for the charge of indecent assault and battery. The most serious charge, indecent assault and battery, carried a potential felony conviction and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Attorney Barabino launched a thorough investigation. Body camera footage, EMS records, and medical documentation were reviewed. Client also entered an intensive rehabilitation plan, including Vivitrol treatment and consistent therapy. His progress was documented and shared with the District Attorney’s Office. After extensive negotiating, the Commonwealth agreed to a Continuance Without a Finding on all charges. Client was placed on two years of probation with ongoing treatment and drug and alcohol screening. The judge also approved administrative probation and allowed Client to travel, making supervision less restrictive. If Client successfully completes probation, the charges will be dismissed.
RESULT: No Felony Conviction; No Sex Offender Registration; Charges to Be Dismissed After Successful Administrative Probation.
