Client had been on the SORB Registry when he was accused of a second, separate sex crime. He denied the second accusation and was eventually acquitted. However, prior to his acquittal, he had a SORB hearing labeling him as a level III offender based on the charges. Attorney Barabino appealed the decision of the SORB. A timely Notice of Appeals was filed, with complaint and affidavits. Soon after transcripts of the initial hearing were obtained and memorandums of law exchanged between the parties. Eventually a hearing was held and soon after a written decision indicating that the original SORB decision was vacated and remanded to the board for a new classification hearing.

February 14th 2017
Client was a building manager who was trying to rebuild his life after pleading guilty to the charge of rape of a child. His charge was for statutory rape, meaning a consensual, but illegal (due to age) relationship existed between client and complainant. For a variety of reasons, the SORB determined a LEVEL III was proper for his offense. Attorney Barabino successfully appealed the decision and the result, after a hearing, was a reduction to a LEVEL II.
Result: SEX OFFENDER LEVEL LOWERED FROM LEVEL III TO LEVEL II.
