Miami - A former investigator for the Office of Financial Regulation and the Department of Children and Families Office of the Inspector General ordered and purchased two videos of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct from a Web site based in Europe.   After an investigation additional images and videos were found on his computer.

He has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for possessing child pornography.  His attorney declined comment and an Office of Financial Regulation spokesman also declined to comment.

In an attempt to protect children from exploitation, lawmakers and law enforcement officials have created a situation that can put innocent people at risk of conviction.  The consequences of a conviction on a possession of child pornography charge are severe and permanent.  You will be required to register as a sex offender where you will have to alert authorities each time that you move, and often difficulties obtaining employment arise.  Not to mention a lengthy jail sentence.

If you are being investigated or have been charged with a sexual assault or child pornography it is essential that you retain an experienced attorney to protect your rights.  You need an aggressive criminal defense attorney early in the process, ideally before the charges are brought.

Miami-Dade Schools Police reported that a computer technician at a Middle School has been arrested and charged with having sex with a 13 year old student at the school.

The 22 year old computer technician admitted to a consensual relationship with the student during winter break.   Although there were at least seven acts with the victim, there is no evidence that there are any other victims in this case. 

In a statement made by a Police Chief, "It wasn't a predatory act in the sense that it was forced or sexual battery. There was an element of consent on the juvenile's part, as much as a minor can consent".  In another statement made by a Miami-Dade Police Chief, "This has no room in our school system".

The suspect was arrested and charged with seven counts of lewd and lascivious conduct on a minor.  He is currently out on a $7,500 bond and is no longer an employee for the Miami-Dade School system.

It is considered a felony offence when lewd conduct involves a minor.  When the behavior is intended to arouse the sexual libido of the adult or the child, you will more than likely be charged with a felony crime of lewd conduct.

With overwhelming pressure from the public many prosecutors will go to the extremes to secure convictions in these cases.  If you have been arrested and charged with a lewd and lascivious behavior it is essential that you contact an aggressive Miami criminal defense attorney immediately.  At Musca Law they will diligently defend your legal rights.

The man has been arrested and now faces homicide charges.

Murder cases are unlike any other criminal case.  The stakes are high and test both the accused and the lawyer. Prosecutors habitually charge individuals with first-degree murder when the allegations, at most, support a charge of manslaughter.
