I had a client who was arrested for luring 2 nine year olds into his van, claiming he was looking for a puppy.

Local news reported it, including a blurb on its website. His photo even made him appear guilty.

Except the charges were contrived and the prosecution couldn’t prove its case.

He lost his job nonetheless and had to re-invent himself.
