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.

Suffolk County Criminal Lawyers are Available to Those Who Need Help

by Stephen Bilkis

In a high district hotel in Australia, a man decided that the chambermaid was not just there for the cleaning of his high priced room. Matthew Moorhouse, 42, whose family says he was raised in the Outback but that this behavior isn’t what they would expect to hear about him.

Apparently, while cleaning his room he tried to make small talk by asking the victim if she had a boyfriend. She indicated that she did not but became suspicious and asked him why he was asking her such questions. At that point, he became a bit more forward asking her if she thought he was handsome. He decided he would give her a hug and instead pushed her down on the bed.

She was screaming when another employee of the hotel heard the screams and knocked on the door. The maid screamed at her co-worker to come inside. Moorhouse let the maid go and she alerted security. Moorhouse remains locked up, charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse, and unlawful imprisonment. His bail set at $20,000. In situation like this, The Suffolk County Criminal Lawyers Stephen Bilkis and Associates can be extremely helpful.

Schumer might just close the loopholes in the sex offender law says a New York City Criminal Lawyer

by Stephen Bilkis

It has been noted that even though many convicted sex offenders are listed in registries they are still able to acquire jobs that place them in direct contact with children, often working as tutors, coaches and in other positions that place them close to children. Senator Charles Schumer might propose legislation to change that. The legislation would propose that it is illegal for registered sex offenders to work or volunteer in positions that put them in “direct and substantial” contact with children.

A New York Criminal Lawyer says business owners will have to screen the employees to make sure that they are not registered sex offenders. Businesses that are not in compliance would be fined and would face greater fines for repeat offenders. Many believe that a law such as this is already in existence but in actuality it is not. Businesses can check if an employee is registered by contacting the Division of Criminal Justice Services online or at 1-800-262-3257.

This law will be set out to prevent cases such as the one where school teacher who was on probation for a sex offense conviction privately tutored a 15 year old boy in. It was determined that he violated the terms of his probation and was once again arrested. Many sex offenders are not on parole or probation therefore they are not barred from acquiring such positions. The Schumer Legislation will prevent this from occurring.

Two New York City women under arrest for alleged prostitution – A Manhattan Criminal Defense Lawyer reports

by Stephen Bilkis

A New York Police Department raid led to the arrest of 21 employees of a strip club in Manhattan NY. Two of the employees were Alexia Moore and Falynn Rodriguez. Both 27 year old New York City residents have been accused of being prostitutes and agreeing to have sex with an undercover cop for $5000.00. The women both claim that the officer offered them the money and while they jokingly discussed it, they never thought he was serious because of the amount of the money being offered. Police report that the women discussed a date and place outside of the club where the exchange would be made, but the defense lawyer for the women state that at the time of the arrest, no sexual exchange had taken place. New York county District Attorney has offered the women a plea deal of disorderly conduct with no community service or jail time. The offer is conditional only if the girls acknowledge they are prostitutes, which would implicate the club’s owners, husband and wife Betty and Louis Posner. If the women were to admit that, the Posners could be arrested for running an illegal prostitution ring. Both Moore and Rodriguez have denied the offer and have decided to go to trial.
