Miami Child Molestation

Posted:1 year ago in Categories: Criminal Law News | Tags: Miami Criminal Defense Attorney, Miami Criminal Lawyer |

This is an article about a 72-year-old man who was arrested for molesting a 4-year-old boy.  This is a sad tale but unfortunately very common.  This person is now facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in state prison and the prosecution will usually not go below 7-8 years in plea negotiations.  He made his case more difficult because he confessed and allegedly the incident was captured on surveillance.  I have defended many people with these type of charges and they are one of the most difficult cases to defend, but it is possible to defend with the ulimate goal of getting the defendant help and to serve as little prison time as possible.
