Former Elementary School Group Leader Arrested

by Stephen Bilkis

Florida authorities have arrested a former Elementary School group leader of a Florida Elementary School after school program, a Criminal Lawyer in New York has learned. The arrest is the result of an investigation that alleges the 21-year old taped a child to a chair in order to stop the child from crying.

Police have told lawyers the former group leader used wrapping tape to tie a 5-year old boy to a chair. The suspect is then alleged to have held the chair, with the 5-year old boy still taped to it, upside down all the while threatening the boy that he would not put the chair down until the child stopped crying. The allegations further allege that after another student had placed the 5-year old boy into a large trash can, that the suspect would not allow the boy to get out of the trash can as he continued to push the boy back down. The suspect would also quickly undo the tape if a teacher would be walking toward the room. There were no Sex Crimes charged in this case although there was some suspicion.

A NYC Criminal Lawyer was also told that the suspect was in the process of being terminated as a result of some ongoing performance issues, but had resigned before the review had been completed by the school district. Once the allegations became known to the school district, the proper authorities were notified and an investigation initiated into the alleged incidents. In Suffolk County and Nassau County, school officials are always alert to these kinds of transgressions by teachers. Sometimes and Nassau County Sex Crime Lawyer gets involved in this type of case, for obvious reasons.

It was a process of months for prosecutors to present the case that the defendant was in fact targeting another student due to his sexual orientation and that this was the basic reason that he broadcast his roommate’s sexual encounter over the internet.

Mentally Challenged Young Adults At Risk and the Case Might Require a Nassau County Criminal Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

When children are the victims of a crime, the general public is usually quick to react. When older children who suffer from mental challenges are the victims, sometimes the information is unclear and difficult to understand. And, what makes this situation even more difficult to understand is these young adults were in the care of people who had been convicted of a crime previously.

One 22-year-old male patient in a psychiatric center claims a worker molested him. The worker had disclosed on his application that he was an ex-convict but didn’t say that he had been convicted of a sex crime. And from all available information, this particular hospital never bothered to investigate to see exactly what the man had been convicted of prior to applying for and obtaining employment in this hospital.

Since the district attorney’s office has made the decision that this is not a prosecutable case, the victims could look for a Nassau County Criminal Lawyer from The Law Office of Steven Bilkis and Associates. These young adults are already experiencing difficulties with the general every day situations of life, and they are also easy targets for criminals.
