Sexual Battery case ends with Pre-Trial Diversion and dismissal (2017)
Defense Counsel:
Charges: Sexual Battery
State’s Case:
Man was arrested for Sexual Battery for touching the breast of a woman he started a conversation with while out walking in his neighborhood.
Judgement:
Client was from India, visiting his son in Georgia. Client denied any improper intent towards the woman - he said it was a misunderstanding. Defense Attorney Hodges had the client take a psychosexual evaluation to show he didn't have problematic sexual interests, and enrolled him in counseling/education about sexual boundaries. The Solicitor agreed to Pre-Trial diversion, after which charges were dismissed and the client's record restricted.
