Former Cop Arrested

Posted on: August 31, 2010 at 1:33 a.m.

A former Southern California police officer from Huntington Beach was arrested on several charges, and is in desperate need of a highly skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney. He was charged with rape, sodomy, vandalism and 19 total felony charges and will face a trial on all of them. A judge recently upheld 19 out of 20 felony charges brought by prosecutors.

Hon. Richard Beacom agreed to move forward with the charges against 34 year old Jmes Roberts after hearing testimony from his ex-wife during a three day preliminary hearing in Santa Ana. Roberts is charged with allegedly committing these acts against his wife, an alleged mistress and another man while serving as a police officer. He pleaded not guilty in February to rape, forcible sodomy, false imprisonment by violence or deceit, criminal threats, domestic battery, aggravated assault, dissuading a witness and vandalism. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 23 years and four months in prison. Being a former police officer and facing 19 felony charges, he is well aware of how important it is to have a skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney working for him.

The man's wife testified about a pattern of abuse which took place from June 2007 through March 2008, while Roberts was still on the force. This is a highly contentious case however as the ex-wife making the allegations allegedly had sex willingly with the man, and sent messages that she wanted to get back together with him. There seems to be a great deal of evidence on both sides.
