Criminal Defense & Felony Dismissal

Scott Cummins secured the dismissal of all felony child molestation charges against a young babysitter whose case rested entirely on allegations that ultimately proved false. Rather than accepting the State’s evidence at face value, Scott conducted an extensive independent review that raised serious questions about the credibility of the accusations.

That work persuaded the prosecutor to dig deeper — requesting a polygraph and further questioning of the alleged victim, who ultimately confessed that the allegations had been fabricated entirely to deflect attention from an unrelated matter. Every charge was dismissed without the client ever going to trial.

For a young woman whose future, reputation, and freedom were on the line, the outcome was everything.
