When children are the victims of a crime, the general public is usually quick to react. When older children who suffer from mental challenges are the victims, sometimes the information is unclear and difficult to understand. And, what makes this situation even more difficult to understand is these young adults were in the care of people who had been convicted of a crime previously.

One 22-year-old male patient in a psychiatric center claims a worker molested him. The worker had disclosed on his application that he was an ex-convict but didn’t say that he had been convicted of a sex crime. And from all available information, this particular hospital never bothered to investigate to see exactly what the man had been convicted of prior to applying for and obtaining employment in this hospital.

Since the district attorney’s office has made the decision that this is not a prosecutable case, the victims could look for a Nassau County Criminal Lawyer from The Law Office of Steven Bilkis and Associates. These young adults are already experiencing difficulties with the general every day situations of life, and they are also easy targets for criminals.

According to a spokesperson for the hospital, the potential employee was questioned about the situation regarding his conviction but did not reveal any information about a sexual crime and the hospital did not then investigate further. The potential employee became an employee even though he had been convicted of lewd assault and battery of an underage male. This criminal act seems irreprehensible and the hospital even goes so far as to say that they are not required to verify the information of a potential employee even if it reveals potential problems.

The general consensus is and always has been that a criminal act simply does not pay. And, regardless of one man’s public service for over thirty years, the injustice he is charged with is difficult to understand. His attorney asked the judge to offer leniency by taking into consideration the letters of over three hundred people who were in support of the assemblyman. The criminal act committed by the man is vague but apparently he had collected approximately one million dollars in consulting fees and in his own words, he had taken the money for “doing nothing”.

However, the judge stated that even after reading the letters, the man’s guilt was even more obvious. The judge said that the man was still refusing to admit the extent of his guilt. Moreover, 15,000 phone calls had been intercepted and these conversations alone were enough to show the bogus consulting firm that this man was operating. The crime resulted in what the man indicated was “nothing”, but in reality, his behavior had resulted in the shake down of a hospital, a college and a lobbying organization. Again, the wiretaps revealed the man admitting “we don’t have to do nothing”, however, he managed to take down organizations and profit a million dollars.
