State v. A.J.

Stay of imposition to an amended count of 4th Degree Criminal Sexual Contact. The case centered on an accusation - to which the client confessed - in which our teenage client used his younger sister to grind on him, essentially. Awful facts and scenario overall. This occurred when he was a teenager, but the charges were raised when she came forward a decade later. Since the incident, he had served this country, become a police officer, and otherwise had committed himself to serving his community and neighbors. He was accountable and remorseful for his action. Mr. Gempeler was able to negotiate to the best possible plea deal - one that included a plea to a lesser count, the conviction will become a misdemeanor when he's done with probation, and there was little jail imposed. Even the Court commented that this was a sweetheart deal at sentencing.
