Charges of Photographing an Unsuspecting Person in the Nude Against Renowned Writer to be Dismissed

Our client is a well known writer who has recently sold some best selling stories. Several months ago he was working at a production company, writing, editing and overseeing a movie. One of the employees observed him “upskirting” a woman who was also employed at that facility. The police were called. They interviewed our client who accepted responsibility for what he had done. He was charged with attempting to photograph an unsuspecting person in the nude in violation of G.L. c. 272 section 105(b). He immediately hired our office to represent him. We had him evaluated by a well known forensic psychologist who concluded that he was not a risk to reoffend and that his actions were brought on by depression triggered by a substantial personal matter. Based on this set of circumstances, we prevailed on the judge to continue the matter without a finding CWOF. The case will be dismissed after the completion of a short probationary period during which our client must engage in counseling.
