Misdemeanor sexual battery
Domestic Violence
Long Beach Courthouse, February 2020
On a weekend night out, our client drank too much and found himself in an altercation with a woman. She alleged that he had touched her inappropriately. Ultimately, he was charged with a misdemeanor sexual battery in violation of Penal Code section 243.4, an offense that would require the client to register as a sex offender if convicted. We were able to use video footage of the incident to show this was a terrible misunderstanding and mitigate the incident. Our client received diversion and community labor.
