Not too long ago an 11-year old girl who was lured into a park bathroom by another girl where she was raped by four boys – ages 17, 17, 16 and 15 and a 19-year old man. The hearing was delayed until the end of June while it is decided if they should be tried as adults – the 16-year old is awaiting results from a psychological evaluation.
All five are accused of attacking the 11-year old girl who has a mental capacity of a 5-year old. The four younger ones are part of a Moreno Valley gang. Reports indicate that part of the attack was videotaped.
They are all being charged with rape, sodomy and lewd acts with a child under the age of 14. In addition, they are facing charges that their actions benefited a criminal street gang.

A 37-year old man was sentenced to 31 years in prison for vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for crashing into a vehicle stopped at a red light and killing the 18-year old girl in the passenger seat – he fled the scene, but was arrested about 10 hours later.
The impact of the crash pushed the vehicle into a major intersection – causing a chain-reaction crash with several vehicles.
The intoxicated man has two drunken-driving convictions and an alcohol-related reckless-driving conviction. He pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence while intoxicated and admitted several penalty-enhancing allegations for causing bodily injury to several victims. In addition, it was found that he has a prior felony strike conviction for a previous robbery and three prior convictions for driving under the influence in California and in Washington State.

Parents beware. An 11-year old girl was the victim of a gang rape in a Moreno Valley park restroom. Sex crimes are harshly prosecuted in the State of California, especially those involving a minor.
Apparently, an older girl, who was an acquaintance of the 11-year, old, lured her from a neighborhood shopping center into a park restroom where six boys and a 19-year old man raped her.
The 19-year old was arrested on rape charges and the six boys and the older girl were arrested on juvenile charges. The six boys are all over the age of 14 and could be charged as adults. The 19-year old and the boys are members of a criminal street gang.
Statutory rape is a nonconsensual act of sexual intercourse with a minor under the age of 18. The perpetrator, if he is more than three years older than the victim, can be found guilty of a felony.
If you have been arrested for statutory rape, it is important to consult with an aggressive Riverside Criminal Defense attorney. Statutory rape carries serious consequences that include imprisonment, fines and probation. In addition, you must register as a Sex Offender for life, which will seriously damage your personal record.

I can’t warn my clients and friends enough to watch their children for illegal activities.
Recently, I read about one of three men who was arrested last year in an undercover string targeting Internet child predators. Jurors deliberated only a couple of hours when they convicted him of three felonies, facing up to five years in prison. He was convicted of attempted lewd conduct with a minor under 14 and communicating with a minor for lewd purposes.
Apparently police posed as a 13-year old girl looking to make $100 in a bogus ad on Craigslist; the 53-year old man responded to the ad by exchanging several sexually explicit emails and online instant messages – all with an undercover police officer. He was arrested when he showed up to meet this fictitious girl.
Solicitation of minor for sexual purposes on the Internet is against the law. If you have been charged with solicitation of a minor for sexual purposes, you can face severe and devastating consequences. Contact an experienced Riverside County Criminal Law attorney who can help you sort out your rights and options.

A driver with three prior DUI convictions was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison for hitting and killing a pedestrian. Earlier this month he was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter for killing a pedestrian in 2009.
It seems he was making a left-hand turn into an apartment complex when he was hit by another vehicle, causing his truck to go onto the sidewalk and thus, hit the pedestrian. He fled the scene but police caught up with him and arrested him. His blood alcohol content was almost three times the legal threshold of 0.085.

Did you hear the news about 19-year old man who assaulted a woman last year and raped another woman a few years before that? He was finally convicted of these crimes and will face more than 100 years to life in prison. The sentencing will take place next month.
The convicted man was 16 when he raped a woman in 2007. He was linked to this crime through a DNA sample. I am happy he will finally be punished for these two terrible crimes.

For those of you who remember the tragic accident that took place last year in Anaheim when a Banning man, rear-ended a bicyclist, fled the scene and the bicyclist died a few days later – the following is an update.
The man pleaded not guilty this week to amended charges of felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, felony hit-and-run, and for fleeing the scene. The police found the man’s El Camino truck soon after the accident with a shattered front windshield hidden in bushes not too far from Disneyland. The man, then on parole, turned himself into his parole officer a few days later. When first arrested, he was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. The District Attorney’s office upgraded the charge to felony because of the disregard he showed by fleeing the scene. The man has four previous convictions which include possession of methamphetamines. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and faces 13 years in prison if he is convicted.

You can be charged with drug dealing in California if you are found to be contributing to the production, packaging, distribution or the sale of narcotics. The penalty for this crime is usually prison. It is a felony crime regardless of what drug you sold. Drug dealers are seldom given probation even if it is a first-time offense.
Your sentence will be determined by the drugs in your possession and the amount you have. If you were caught with any type of illegal drug, you would be wise to contact a competent Criminal Law Attorney who has experience in handling drug-dealing cases in California and can advise you of your civil rights under the United States Constitution.

Recently a California man, was arrested when his computer was found to have 1.8 million stolen credit card numbers on it. He was sentenced to 13 years in Federal prison and ordered to repay $27.5 million to banks and credit cards companies that he victimized.
He pleaded guilty to an online clearinghouse where identity thieves shared stolen information. He told a judge that he was “mesmerized by the thrill of hacking”. He was addicted to it.
Several years ago, the man worked as a volunteer who helped the FBI understand and prevent cyber crimes. He was always curious as to what he could accomplish with a computer. It is too bad that the curiosity took a turn for the worst. There is no telling how much damage a person can do on a computer today.
