Our client met the victim through a casual encounter at an entertainment establishment, and the two checked into a motel together in the early hours of that morning. Physical contact took place between them, but the victim later alleged that our client had attempted intercourse against her will and that it amounted to rape, and filed a criminal complaint. She gave investigators a detailed account of the specific time, place, and course of physical contact, and the consistency and specificity of a sexual assault victim's statement can weigh very heavily against a suspect.

From the earliest stage of the case, DAEON met with our client to review the facts in precise detail. In particular, our criminal law specialist secured every available piece of objective evidence, including the circumstances before and after the incident, message histories, motel CCTV footage, and location records, and focused on demonstrating that our client's conduct did not involve deliberate violence or coercion.
