pdrenarole for sexual assult
A friend was arrested for sexual assult. The charges were brought by his step daughter and were false. They made a threat to take all his children if he didn’t plead guilty and take a deal. He took the deal did his time and now he’s on lifetime parole which wasn’t part of the deal. Is there any way to get off parole? The step daughter wants to recant her statement now that she is 18.

Hmm, well, a few things here: was he coerced into pleading? Did he have his Miranda rights read? If so, did he request counsel at the time and was it granted? Who was his counsel? Was it private counsel or a public defender? Did he bring any motions from then until now for ineffective assistance of counsel?
Your friend's best bet is to hire a PRIVATE criminal defense attorney (or at least consult with one). What needs to be done is a full review of the arrest report, any documents within it, the trial transcripts, possible interviews with the step daughter, any other family members, character witnesses, etc. You get it - a basic laundry list of what the lawyer has to work with. Try www.attorneypages.com. It is important your friend get experienced legal counsel and not tackle it alone.
