Indecent Assault and Battery Child Under 14
Assault and Battery
Assault and Battery
Client was charged with kissing an eleven year old on the lips and assaulting and beating her as well as assaulting and beating his pregnant girlfriend. As the case was moving though the court system, he was once again charged for assaulting and beating his girlfriend. Via a Martins Hearing, those secondary charges were dropped, leaving the remaining sex related charge and the remaining assault and battery to argue. The girlfriend had been adamant that nothing physical occurred when she was interviewed by police and kept that position right up to the day of trial. At the day of trial, the young woman who was the complainant of the sex charge did not appear for court and the girlfriend who was now the defendant’s wife asserted her marital privilege, leaving the cases dismissed. The sex charge would be a required sex offender registration with the sex offender registry, but since it was dismissed, that will never occur. All charges dismissed.
RESULT: ALL CHARGES DROPPED. CASES DISMISSED. NO SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION.
