WILMINGTON, NC, May 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) Wilmington criminal defense attorney Ryan Stump recently represented a client facing a second degree forcible sex offense charge. After conducting an independent investigation, re-interviewing the state's witnesses and interviewing additional witnesses, Mr. Stump convinced the Assistant District Attorney (ADA) that dismissal of the sex crime charge was appropriate.
Mr. Stump's client was accused of sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman. The alleged victim claimed that Mr. Stump's client had forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was too drunk to consent to the sex act.
Allegations of sex crimes require an aggressive criminal defense strategy. Sentencing for sex crimes in North Carolina are enhanced, meaning that sex crimes can be punished with longer sentences than other criminal charges of the same felony level. A sex offense sentence may also include a requirement that the individual register as a sex offender for a term of years to life.
Building the best defense against an accusation of a sex crime starts with reviewing all available evidence. Mr. Stump reviewed the interviews of both the victim and an eyewitness that had been conducted by law enforcement. He discovered inconsistencies between the alleged victim's statement and the state's key eyewitness' account of the events that formed the basis of the sex offense charge. Sex crimes defense attorney Ryan Stump also discovered inconsistencies in two separate statements given by the eyewitness.
The only witnesses offered by the state, Stump determined, had conflicting memories of what actually happened. In addition, law enforcement had failed to interview several other key witnesses who had contact with the woman in the days following the alleged assault.
Defense lawyer Ryan Stump conducted his own interview of the state's eyewitness as well as others identified as potential witness who had not been interviewed by police. Mr. Stump prepared sworn affidavits and full transcripts of the interviews and turned the interview transcripts and corresponding videos over to the Assistant District Attorney (ADA).
After law enforcement had the opportunity to re-interview the state's witnesses, it was determined that Mr. Stump's client had been falsely accused of a sex crime. As a result, Mr. Stump was able to convince the ADA to dismiss the charge against his client.
