Sexual Assault — Not Guilty

Case Description

Our client, a rideshare driver, was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger, facing charges of rape, assault, and attempted murder. The allegations included striking and strangling the complainant to the point where she claimed she had to feign death to survive. Complicating the case even further was the fact that our Client honestly told officers that he did have consensual sex with the client that night. Our client faced severe legal consequences, including the potential of 20 years in prison and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Legal Strategy

We meticulously challenged the prosecution's evidence and witness testimonies, focusing on inconsistencies and lack of concrete proof, ultimately dismantling the State's case.

Challenges

The case was complicated by our client’s admission of consensual sex, which the prosecution used to paint him as both a liar and a predator. The prosecution's expert witnesses further bolstered these accusations, making it critical to discredit their testimonies and the alleged timeline of events.

Resolution

Through a strategic and detailed defense, we were able to cast significant doubt on the prosecution’s case, leading to a not-guilty verdict. Our client was acquitted of all charges, avoiding a lengthy prison sentence and the life-altering consequences of sex offender registration.
