Rape investigation halted in Manhattan
2020
Our client was contacted by the police who had questions about things that
happened between our client and another person. Specifically, they were
pushing our client to discuss a sexual encounter which our client admitted
to. Worried about why the NYPD was contacting him, our client came to
see us and we immediately got involved. In discussions with the lead detective,
we understood that they were, as suspected, conducting an investigation
into a reported rape. We discussed the lack of physical evidence and the
credibility concerns that we had about the source of the information the
NYPD was receiving. After a brief detention, our client was released,
the charges were discontinued, and the investigation was closed.
