Penn Station Exposure / lewdness charges dismissed for businessman
2020
Our client was
arrested for allegedly masturbating inside a bathroom in Penn Station in front
of an under-cover police officer. Our client was worried because if the
arrest and conviction were discovered by other people, there could be
extensive consequences both professionally and personally. After the
case evaluation, we asserted our client’s innocence and fought the charges on the
grounds of improper police procedure and insufficient evidence to convict.
Initially, the prosecutor was demanding a criminal record and sex offender
program but following negotiations, we worked it out to a deal where our
client would only plead guilty to a non-criminal violation called disorderly
conduct and
community service.
