Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Charges changed

I am a nurse and was arrested for lewd and lascivious of elderly with dementia but i was subsequently charged with battery on elderly. How can they say I touched her against her will if she has demntia and never objected to care provided?

Re: Charges changed

Certain touching, and whether it was "unwanted," can be inferred from the circumstances. I would discuss the issue with an experienced criminal defense attorney. If you are interested in receiving a FREE consultation, either in person or by phone, please contact my law firm ASAP. Even with the reduction in the charge, you are still looking at a serious felony charge.

Good luck,
