Sex Offender Registry Avoided – Rape – Commonwealth v. J.K.

The Commonwealth charged J.K. with Rape by Forcible Compulsion and related charges. This was a case where the detective did minimal investigation and the District Attorney overcharged. When he found out he was being investigated, J.K turned to Ms. Snyder and Ms. Shaw for help. Ms. Shaw and the firm’s legal intern spent hours investigating, interviewing, and preparing defense witnesses for trial. Their thorough witness preparation allowed the firm to build a strong case against the trumped-up charges.

Ms. Snyder ensured that his side of the story was heard by forcing the police to investigate a civil lawsuit the complainant filed that contradicts her story. That information was crucial to discovering the complainant’s motive to lie. Ms. Snyder forced the police to dump the complainant’s phone which contained thousands of text messages that established the true circumstances surrounding the alleged rape. The information Ms. Snyder uncovered was so compelling that she pushed the District Attorney to make a misdemeanor offer with no jail time and no registration as a sex offender.
