Charges in ’sexting’ cases are sweeping across the nation and several states are trying to figure out exactly how to prosecute these criminals.

The problem is that men are found with pictures of naked or barely clothed underage girls on cell phones. Normally those men would be charged with ‘possession of child pornography’ as well as other serious felony charges. However, if convicted the defendants would not only have a felony record for the rest of their lives, they would also have to register as sex offenders.

Although it’s a serious problem, the difference in juvenile girls taking and sending out pictures of their own bodies to individuals cell phones and the other ways that child porn is normally obtained and distributed is vast.

California is not the only state struggling with a new crime that law books have not caught up with yet. New laws will likely be written to cover the dangerous and damaging ’sexting’.

Los Angeles Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend is ready to take on cases like these. No one believes it is right to lump together a 25 year old ‘man’ with pictures of a high school girl on his phone in the same category as rapist and pedophiles. It’s simply wrong.

However, if  those men are convicted and forced to register as sex offenders that is exactly what the public will think. Contact the law offices of Ventura County Defense Attorney Robert Helfend to see that he will put together a logical and aggressive defense plan that will keep your name off of the sex registry. He will fight for your charges to be dropped altogether or at the very least, fit the crime.

The growing trend to ‘run for the border’ is nothing new. Fugitives in the states, especially California, are running to Mexico to escape prosecution here. However, Mexican authorities are starting to focus on these criminals and make a concentrated effort to get the dangerous people back to the US to face thier charges.

Just like the husband of Monica Beresford-Redman, a Los Angeles man wanted in suspicion of responsibility for her death, many think that they can get lost in the vastness of Mexico itself and that the chaotic crime climate will aid in hiding them.

Recently though Mexican officials have created a task force specifically for dealing with these would be runaways. They are being dubbed ‘Fugitive Hunting Squads’ and this year they have returned approximatly 299 men and women to answer for their crimes. This is more than triple the number of people sent back over the border in 2003.

Both Mexican officials and US law enforcement agencies are extremely happy with the progress thus far.

Once you are sent across and arrested, contact the law offices of Los Angeles Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend:

This past week in Los Angeles a man left his home to go to store leaving his fiance at home, when he returned his nightmare began.

Adam Culvey came home to find a man in his home, he argued and struggled with the 20 something Latino man who ended up getting out of the house. Mr. Culvey chased him down the street and when he lost the perpetrator Adam went back to his house only to find it ablaze.

Authorities found his fiance’s burned body inside. Her cause of death is still being determined. Police do not think that Culvey is involved in the crime and are not currently looking at him as a suspect.

Simi Valley Officers On Lunch Break Arrest Los Angeles County Car Thief

Recently Ventura police responded to a call stating that a man had been stabbed. When they arrived Jeffrey Johnson had suffered a collapsed lung from the altercation but refused to give authorities any details. He would only say that he was in a fight with three hispanic males.

Investigators found out that Johnson is a wanted parolee.

They are continuing to look for clues and evidence that will lead them to the three men responsible for Jeffrey Johnson’s injuries.

In a case like this Ventura County Defense Attorney Robert Helfend can help. With over two decades of experience in the Los Angeles area he knows and will use all sorts of legal tactics in an attempt to get you the outcome you desire.

Robert Helfend knows that lawyers can get a bad rap and seeks to make a better name for himself and his profession.

“I am part of a profession that has become overcrowded with marginally successful attorneys, which often leads to other lawyers making promises about guaranteed acquittals and getting clients off. Over the past twenty years, my clients have occasionally informed me of what other lawyers promised. Some of the stories I have heard are incredible and an embarrassment to my profession.” – Robert Helfend

Apparently the A list actors such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton aren’t the only ones serving tiny portions of their sentences. Due to overcrowding felons and ‘non-violent’ criminals, especially females, are spending about a tenth of the time they are originally told they will spend actually behind bars.

Recently one of the members of the ‘bling ring’, a group of young people accused of robbing the homes of stars such as Orlando Bloom, was released from prison after less than a month.

Calabasas resident Alexis Neiers was told she would spend 6 months in prison when she pled no contest to the charges of robbery. Now that she is out she says that she is a changed woman.

“I’ve had time to reflect on my life and the choices that led me to this experience, left alone in my cell 23 hours a day and having everything stripped away but the bare essentials,” Neiers said in a statement. “I did a lot of soul-searching. I feel very humbled and see my life in a way that I have come to be very grateful for and I am also grateful to everyone who has helped and supported me through this.”

Los Angeles Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend is the lawyer who often gets charges reduced, or even dropped in some cases. He is willing to take the tough cases and fight for the rights of his clients.

A Montreal man is getting quite the deal in a Los Angeles court this week. John Bellini was due to appear in a California court of law to enter his plea and begin the trail for charges associated with a fraudulent telemarketing ring which targeting the elderly. Instead he appeared before a federal court early and pleaded guilty to one charge of wire fraud.

Bellini was allegedly the ring leader of the telemarketing group and was facing numerous charges. He will be sentenced in his much smaller case, presumably a plea bargain for information on other members of the group, on November first.

Apparently this is considered a great victory for those who have been working hard to fight telephone fraud crime.

“Our feeling is that he greatly facilitated the crime. But the telemarketers who actually spoke on the phone with the elderly vulnerable victims and took their money are in some sense equally or more culpable,” said Assistant United States Attorney Ellyn Lindsay, the prosecutor in the case. “This is the result of great co-operation between Canadian and U.S. law enforcement who have been battling this kind of crime.”
