    Default Solicitation of a Minor Charges After a Sex Sting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: florida


    so i posted on here a few months ago about my younger brother sex sting he was in. his charges consisted of
    * Attempted Lewd And Lascivious Battery
    * Lewd Or Lascivious Conduct (by Person>17)
    * Solicitation Of A Minor Via Computer
    * Obscene Communication-Travel To Meet After Use Com

    but the first 2 charges got dropped so now his charges are only
    * Solicitation Of A Minor Via Computer
    * Obscene Communication-Travel To Meet After Use Com

    and it's been several months and the prosectuion hasn't revealed any discovery against the defendant.

    is it possible the case is going to get thrown out? what do people usually get sentenced with for just having these two charges : * Solicitation Of A Minor Via Computer
    * Obscene Communication-Travel To Meet After Use Com


    any input would help, just praying for my brother to go about living his life normal and CORRECTLY again.
    thanks

    Default Re: Sex Sting , Few Charges Dropped

    Well you go go to youtube and watch all the "To Catch a Predator" vids. Sometimes the procedures are discussed there. But presecution in some cases takes time and there is a long list of high priority cases going on.

    Did your brother get a lawyer involved?

    Has discovery actually been formally requested? While a formality, it's an important one, as the state isn't under the burden of a timeframe for disclosure until there's an actual REQUEST.

    discovery has been requested like several weeks ago.

    yes a lawyer is involved .

    i watched some of the "catch a predator" videos but they never discuss sentencing on their.

    my brother also has no prior record, never been arrested or in any kind of trouble.

    im just trying to find out if anyone has seen any cases similar to this and how it turned out?

    It depends on the severity of the crime. They are all different. Some of these guys have handcuffs and condoms in their back pocket and get the book thrown at them.

    Doesn't the lawyer know? He would know more about the case than us. Thankfully your brother hopefully did not appeear as the violent predetory type the enforcement officers like to get an keep off the streets. That may be to his advantage.
