Mandatory reporters are required to report suspected sexual abuse and include schools and health care providers such as doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Children’s Division (formerly known as Division of Family Services or DFS) will immediately investigate reported sexual abuse to determine whether the child or children must be removed from the home. A parent is often forced to choose between his or her child or children and the other parent as Children’s Division will place the child or children in kinship or foster care unless the accused parent moves out of the house. Children’s Division may not even allow a parent accused of a sexual criminal offense to see the children.
Many individuals accused of child molestation, sexual misconduct, statutory rape, sodomy or child pornography have lost their jobs and careers. Certain employers may terminate an employee where their clients and customers are children. Missouri is an employment-at-will state, which means an employee or employer may terminate the employment relationship in these types of situations.
Criminal courts and criminal judges have little compassion and sympathy for persons who have pled guilty or been convicted of sexual offenses. Persons convicted of sexual offenses forever undergo life-altering perceptions both personally and professionally as the person is known as a child molester, pedophile or sexual predator.
Persons convicted of felony sexual criminal offenses and sex crimes are often sentenced to prison and are required to complete a sexual offender education program before release.
Persons convicted of felony sexual offenses or felony sex crimes are also required to register as sexual offenders. The sexual offender registry is a public record and discloses the person’s residence. Once convicted, a person is prohibited from living within a certain geographic distance from schools and is required to follow certain laws during Halloween such as turning off porch lights and remaining inside the house.
Promoting, producing and even possessing child pornography violates certain criminal laws. Criminal conduct involving child pornography may be prosecuted in federal court or state court. Law enforcement will generally seize an individual’s computer to retrieve any and all information available including computer downloads, e-mail chats, computer files, and embedded content. Any information retrieved is generally admissible in criminal prosecutions.

A Jefferson City man faced DUI charges following a field sobriety test. Charges against the defendant were dropped after Scott successfully maintained the client’s claims that the test results were inaccurate. While the client initially appeared to be in a difficult situation, Scott was able to push investigators to determine the sobriety test results as invalid, so the charges were dismissed.
A client from Fulton was accused of drug possession as a result of a home search. While drug charges may potentially be filed as a Class C felony involving severe consequences, Scott was able to help the client receive a reduced sentence. Ultimately, the client faced significantly smaller penalties compared to the initial charges.
One client sought legal assistance after an altercation with another individual in Jefferson City. The client was arrested on assault charges despite allegedly not starting the fight. Since an arrest can lead to life-altering penalties such as being terminated from employment and serving jail time, Scott was able to build a solid legal defense in the client’s favor and argued in favor of the client’s innocence.
