Our client was charged with Penal Code §314(1) – Indecent Exposure and Penal Code §647(a) – Lewd Conduct. A conviction on the indecent exposure charge carried mandatory lifetime sex offender registration under Penal Code §290 and posed severe immigration consequences. Our client had recently won an immigration lottery that placed him on a fast track to U.S. citizenship, and any conviction requiring registration would have destroyed that opportunity.
From the outset, this was a life-altering case. The prosecution pursued penalties that would have required lifetime registration and incarceration. We built a defense strategy focused on mitigation and expert-driven evaluation. We retained top psychological and forensic experts to conduct a comprehensive assessment and developed a detailed mitigation package and psychological profile demonstrating that our client was an excellent candidate for an alternative resolution.
Through months of preparation and strategic negotiations, we secured an outcome that avoided both sex offender registration and jail time. Our client preserved his immigration path, avoided a criminal record that would follow him for life, and was able to move forward with his career and future in the United States.
