Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse

N/A

OUTCOME: 2 years of court supervision on a reduced charge of misdemeanor battery

The client, who was charged with Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse as a juvenile in Will County, was accused of touching his young sister in a sexual manner. Attorney DiQuattro maintained a positio ... n of strength on the case and vowed to fight the case to protect the young man from the potential lifelong harm that the charges posed against him. Immediately recognizing the defense's position of strength, the prosecutor in the case approached Attorney Diquattro and inquired as to how to resolve the case short of trial. Attorney DiQuattro conveyed that an acceptable disposition would consist of no juvenile adjudication (juvenile felony conviction) or mandatory sex offender registration requirement. The prosecutor was at first reluctant at the proposal but indicated that she would take it into consideration. To further advance this proposal, Attorney DiQuattro had the client undergo a “psychosexual evaluation.” A psychosexual evaluation is an evaluation that is conducted by licensed professional under the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB). The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the risk level of an individual’s potential to commit further sexual offenses. After undergoing the evaluation, a report was compiled by the licensed evaluators who made a finding that the client was a low risk level for re-offending. Attorney DiQuattro also gathered letters of support from the client’s family members in mitigation. The letters of support demonstrated the family’s support of the young man despite the allegations and also showed that his young sister was not affected by the client’s alleged actions. Attorney DiQuattro presented to psychosexual evaluation and letters of support to the prosecutor to further support his proposal. After reviewing the materials tendered, the prosecutor went along with attorney DiQuattro’s proposal and made an extraordinary offer. The prosecutor offered 2 years of court supervision on a reduced charge of misdemeanor battery. This means that if the client completes his supervision satisfactorily, that the charge will ultimately be dismissed resulting in no adjudication (juvenile conviction) on his record. This disposition also eliminated the mandatory lifetime sex offender registration requirement.
