One cannot watch or read the news anymore without someone being accused of sexual assault. There have been many accused and/or convicted. Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby just to name a couple. But what if you are accused of the charge and are innocent?
A recent case in Somerset County, Somerville, New Jersey, venue in the Superior Court proved that point. A man was accused of sexual assault, violation of NJSA 2C: 14-2. The allegation was that while a woman was drunk, he took advantage of her and committed the act of sexual assault. He was in prison for five to 10 years, under Megan’s Law.
The attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Abate, Law Group, PC, received the discovery from the prosecutor and noted that the police hadonly interviewed two people at the party when this allegedly occurred. Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC’s criminal defense attorneys recommended to the family that they hire investigators to speak to many people at the party.
It was discovered that the young woman made up the story because her boyfriend found out that she had sex at the party. Therefore, she accused our clients wrongfully just because she had cheated on her boyfriend. As a result of her accusation, this caused incredible stress and anxiety to our clients and his family. Fortunately, through those efforts, the sexual assault charges were ultimately dismissed by the Somerset County prosecutors office.
