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.
