Sexual Abuse, California P.C. Sec. 288(a)

not sure why you think I mind the nasty things... sure I respond, but I understand where it's coming from.

But it's clear that I won't find any more assistance here. This thread can be closed if anyone so desires... but if I see replies... I probably won't be able to help but respond myself.

The reason the experts here have been telling you to stop posting here and speak only to your attorney is that anything you say here can not only be found, but also used against you in court. If you are at all prudent + concerned about minimizing your sentence, you won't post here (or anywhere else) anymore.

I find this the most "particularly important" pieces of advice. During a way less traffic infraction issue one young man had he posted his, very detailed account of the situation on this website. This website caters to The US, Canada, and the rest of the world. I work in a small county in Northern California. The minute this kid started telling his side of the story in court, I immediately knew the rest of what he was going to say. I whispered to the officer sitting next to me what he was going to say next. The officer thought I was Rainman. That was just an infraction with a few paragraphs of an explanation.

Your case is WAAAAAYYYY more serious than a silly passing on the shoulder ticket.
What people here are trying to say to you is don't send the letter to the judge and shut up. Use your 5th amendment right. In fact, you should probably disconnect from the internet so your tendencies dont tempt you. You can make your sob story at the end of the trial. That is where you fall on the sword. Not here. You probably handed over evidence to the DA that they didn't know about. You are likely tacking years onto your sentence.

Speak to YOUR lawyer and no one else.

I guess you missed the part where I said I confessed it all to the police after I'd been read my rights...
In a room with video recording, with them taking notes... I recounted everything I've said here.. in more detail since they were actively asking questions.

There is nothing more to say that they don't know... so.. I'm kind of past the point of 5th amendment rights...
as I've said multiple times... let them tack on years... I'd rather be a helpful member of society... but if they want to lock me up... I'll live in the shitty place and survive as long as I can on the taxpayers dollar... I'll talk to the therapists there, and still try to help any way I can.. otherwise I'll read, work out, etc... I'll might be attacked/killed... it is what it is... it's much more valuable to me that someone else might be able to read this and have it help them in SOME/ANY way... than for me to try to lessen my sentence...
Hard to talk to my lawyer about it... gave them $4500 already, and won't meet with me till the arraignment... which isn't for another month... I left a voicemail yesterday, haven't heard back yet.. and hard to discuss when I work 9-6

Although I really do appreciate that advice.. you are good people

Please, please, PLEASE understand that even though you confessed, the matter is not necessarily over and done with. This is why you need to be talking to your attorney and only your attorney.

I'm telling you this not out of any rush to get you off the site, but because your attorney needs to know who you've spoken to, what you've said and figure out what kind of damage control may be available.

Out of respect for all of you, I'll listen.
astounded that anyone cares enough to try to get me to help myself, figured even the lawyers only do it for the money.

Thank You,
And Goodbye.

(but regardless of it's affect on me/my case. Please leave everything as is in this thread... I really think if anyone else is ever in a similar situation, I'd like for them to be able to find this)

This site has been the subject of a four-year campaign of nastiness by a woman who got upset that somebody here criticized her for asking if she could fake a separation or divorce from her husband to try to lower his child support obligation to his children from a prior marriage. You may want to wear a hair coat, self-flagellate, and all that, but not everybody does, even when it's relatively mild and well-deserved.

Qwaspolk,

As far as the letter goes... I'd send it at sentencing... and supposedly in California, the judge can/will read that.

It's better to just apologize in person, out loud, at sentencing. The judge isn't going to read a letter. Letters for sentencing purposes should come from friends and family and they should be sent to the probation department who sends a copy to everyone. If you are found or plead guilty, you will meet with a probation officer and you can tell them your story and how awful you feel. Talk to your attorney. Posting on here won't help you.
