After a one-week trial, Attorneys Eric Long and Tyler Walchanowicz secured a full acquittal for their client, who was charged with two counts of Gross Sexual Imposition involving a minor in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. After their client was accused of sexually assaulting a minor, Attorneys Long and Walchanowicz provided a vigorous defense, which highlighted a flawed police investigation, substantial inconsistencies in the allegations, and an overall lack of evidence. Due to the approach taken by Eric and Tyler at trial, the jury was left with significant doubt as to the veracity of the allegations. After nearly nine-hours of deliberation, the jury rendered a Not Guilty verdict on each count. Guided by the belief that there is almost nothing worse than being wrongfully accused of committing a sexual assault against a child, Eric and Tyler worked tirelessly to ensure that their client was afforded all protections available under the law. As a result, their client is now able to begin rebuilding his life without fear of future injustice.
