Soliciting a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using a Computer Service or Device and Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communications Device, following a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office undercover operation
The client was arrested in a PBSO undercover operation built on online communications. The State filed two third-degree felonies, including a computer solicitation charge that requires sexual offender registration even when adjudication is withheld.
Counsel pressed the gaps in the State's evidence and presented the client's mitigation to the prosecutor early. The client completed the required educational program before the plea hearing. The State dismissed both felonies and amended the charge to a single misdemeanor. The client avoided jail, a felony record, and registration.
