A marine was accused of forcible rape by a young woman he and a fellow marine met while out on the town partying. Pre-court investigation by our firm revealed that the complaining witness' own friends and associates disbelieved her claim based on her history of unreliable reporting. Further defense investigation revealed that the young woman had in fact had contact with the other marine, not our client. Effective presentation of this evidence in a formal pre-filing position to the government resulted in no charges being filed against client.
