​Divorce case where father involved with internet child pornography.

​Lorin represented a man in a divorce case. The parties had young children and his wife wanted the children’s father out of their lives. In order to obtain an enormous advantage over her husband in the custody dispute, she accused him of being involved with internet child pornography. His parenting time was suspended and he was charged criminally with numerous felonies. His wife turned over the family computer to the police and hundreds of illegal images and videos were found. Lorin contacted an expert to conduct a forensic analysis of the computer. During thecourse of investigation into the matter, it was learned that the wife had a friend who was a computer expert. Lorin’s expert advised him that the internal clock of the computer had been manipulated so as to not accurately reflect when the pornography was downloaded. It was Lorin’s contention that the wife’s friend downloaded the data to reflect a time when only the defendant would have been home. Lorin presented this information to the prosecutor. The prosecutor subsequently dismissed all charges and the young man now has unsupervised parenting time with his children.

​Man charged with soliciting an underage girl over the internet for sexual purposes.

​Lorin represented a young man who was charged with soliciting an underage girl over the internet for sexual purposes (In reality the person was an undercover police officer and not a young girl). The young man set up a time to meet the “girl” and was arrested when he arrived. His previous counsel encouraged the young man to accept a plea bargain to a sexually oriented offense. A plea or a finding of guilty would have disastrous and life changing consequences for this young man. He was in his last year of graduate school and a conviction would prevent him from pursuing his career. Lorin was retained and began investigating the evidence and applicable law. Ohio has a statute called “Intervention in Lieu of Conviction” which avoids a conviction for first time offenders. It requires treatment and for the defendant to complete a period of probation. Upon successful completion of the treatment and probation, the client ends up with no record, does not have to register as a sex offender and the criminal process is sealed. Lorin had the client see a psychologist who conducted numerous tests and found him eligible under the statute. Lorin filed the Petition with the Court. The Court had independent testing performed on the client. After considering the reports, the Court granted the Petition. The young man now has the opportunity to have no record and to continue his career.
