Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey tells the story of a memorable CO sex crime case he handled. He recalls handling a sex crime case involving a man in his mid-20s with autism who became entangled in an online conversation with a Homeland Security officer. Through the course of litigation, he and his team demonstrated that the officer had entrapped the client by suggesting she would pursue a relationship with him only if he agreed to engage in a relationship with her underage daughters.

The federal government prosecuted the case aggressively, seeking a 25-year prison sentence. However, he successfully negotiated a resolution through a guilty plea that ultimately resulted in probation. At sentencing, while the government pushed for a lengthy prison term, he argued for probation, and the judge ultimately agreed, granting his client probation instead of incarceration.
