A charge of 245pc does NOT require any injury or even any touching. If one has the "present ability" to perpetrate the touching, that is all that is neccessary. These are very serious charges. As a Former Deputy District Attorney and currently a Certified Criminal Law Specialist, my firm has handled 100's of these types of charges. Should you desire private counsel, I would be more than happy to offer a FREE consultation. Call me at 661-267-1313........David Wallin
Can he be charged and convicted? Of course, if the prosecutor can prove his case. That depends upon all the evidence. Get him an attorney. If serious about doing so, contact me to discuss.
