Plan B becomes Plan C / myLot

Shingle Springs, California

January 21, 2024 6:13pm CST

Found a lawyer with a strategy, which was to write a letter to the false accuser that tries to convince her to recant. However, once he looked over the discovery and talked to the criminal attorney, his fear was that there was a greater chance that this could rebound back on the boy than there was that she would recant or that we would win a lawsuit. The boy listened to him and agreed we wouldn't pursue the case. So he ends up with this arrest on his record forever. Unless we can get the law changed. So I guess plan C is get involved in groups that are working to get the law changed, and see if that will work. sux, but life goes on...

Yeah, life tends to do that. Go on that is. Too bad you can't hire a detective and find something on the false accuser. Then tell them you will make this known unless he/she drops charges.

Could, but probably by the time we find anything, the statute of limitations would pass on suing her.

Oh man, Dawn . . . I thought this whole thing was totally behind him. Argh - it's so not fair that this goes on his record. - not at all. Well then, let's get this plan C happening . . . I sure hope it can clear him of this.

It's mostly behind him, but the arrest record is forever

Plan C is probably a good choice. It would not only help "the boy" but others as well. Good luck.

Yep, although the law enforcement lobby is really powerful here in "liberal" California

I wish you the best of luck. Sadly changing the law takes years, and often has no affect on cases prior to law changes.

This is a situation where it would help him

@kaylachan yes it will, because it's about sealing arrest records, not about a prior court case

@dawnald You really need to do the research. Like I said, if you're lucky to get a law changed, it takes years. If it happens at all. Those who were affected before the change, aren't grandfathered into any law changes. Meaning it won't help him.
