Grand central Exposure / lewdness charges dismissed for licensed professional
2017
Our client, a licensed professional, and another person were
arrested for allegedly engaging in sexual activity in a bathroom in Grand Central
Station in front of other people. Our client was extremely worried because
lewdness (pl 24500) carries up to a year in
jail and a permanent criminal record. Our client
contacted us for help and explained that after the arrest, the NYPD tricked our client
into giving a full
confession by assuring that they would release our client if this happened. Our client
hired us and we immediately took steps to fight the
confession and get the case dismissed. After several moths of litigation, we were
able to work out a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney. Under the
terms of the deal, our client would only have to plead guilty to the reduced
and added charge of disorderly conduct, a non-criminal violation, and
no criminal record, no
jail, no sex-offender program, and no probation.
