Case dismissed for tourist visiting NYC and accused for forcible touching
(Manhattan)
2019
Our client, while visiting the US, was
arrested for allegedly touching the sexual or intimate parts of another person
while they were together in public. Our client was charged with forcible
touching, PL 130.52, a class A misdemeanor. When we met for the
case evaluation, we noticed that the facts of the case really didn’t properly support
the forcible touching charges. Confident in getting it dismissed, we fought
with the prosecutor for several months until the entire case was eventually
dropped. The case resulted in no
jail, no criminal record, no sex offender program or registration.
