Mr. Sanchez was wrongfully accused of molesting the 10 year old sister of his 29 year old girlfriend. He was charged with criminal sexual conduct in the second degree. Innocent and playful touches turned to suspicion of criminal sexual conduct when the two broke up. An innocent piggback ride home from the park in raw daylight with girlfriend at his side turn into an allegation of inappropriate touch. A zealous cornerhouse interview, police investigation and prosecution all but had Mr. Sanchez hung out to dry before he ever went to court. The State produced five witnesses and the Defendant took the stand in his own defense. Thankfully the jury could see the case for what it was. A knee jerk reaction without context. The jury was out for 30 minutes and then acquitted Mr. Sanchez.
