In a high district hotel in Australia, a man decided that the chambermaid was not just there for the cleaning of his high priced room. Matthew Moorhouse, 42, whose family says he was raised in the Outback but that this behavior isn’t what they would expect to hear about him.

Apparently, while cleaning his room he tried to make small talk by asking the victim if she had a boyfriend. She indicated that she did not but became suspicious and asked him why he was asking her such questions. At that point, he became a bit more forward asking her if she thought he was handsome. He decided he would give her a hug and instead pushed her down on the bed.

She was screaming when another employee of the hotel heard the screams and knocked on the door. The maid screamed at her co-worker to come inside. Moorhouse let the maid go and she alerted security. Moorhouse remains locked up, charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse, and unlawful imprisonment. His bail set at $20,000. In situation like this, The Suffolk County Criminal Lawyers Stephen Bilkis and Associates can be extremely helpful.

The strict new DWI law known as Leandra’s Law went into effect December 18, 2009. The law was created after an eleven year old Leandra Lewis was killed in a car accident caused because the driver of the vehicle had been intoxicated. The law has now harsher than ever. Now any adult caught driving while impaired with a child under the age of 16 years may be charged with an E felony and faces up to 4 years in prison. A driver who is impaired and causes the death of a child less than 16 years may face up to 25 years in prison and a B Felony. The police will also report the parent/ guardian of the child to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment.

Just days after the law was enacted, one mother have been arrested. She was pulled over by police after they noticed her car swerving on the New York State Thruway. Once the vehicle was stopped, they gave her a Breathalyzer and found her to have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .20, twice the legal limit of .08. The woman had her 9 year old daughter in the car when she was pulled over. She has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated DWI with a child in the vehicle.

21 year old Copiague resident stabbed someone in a fight on Saturday at a house party in Massapequa. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was released after being treated.

It has been noted that even though many convicted sex offenders are listed in registries they are still able to acquire jobs that place them in direct contact with children, often working as tutors, coaches and in other positions that place them close to children. Senator Charles Schumer might propose legislation to change that. The legislation would propose that it is illegal for registered sex offenders to work or volunteer in positions that put them in “direct and substantial” contact with children.

A New York Criminal Lawyer says business owners will have to screen the employees to make sure that they are not registered sex offenders. Businesses that are not in compliance would be fined and would face greater fines for repeat offenders. Many believe that a law such as this is already in existence but in actuality it is not. Businesses can check if an employee is registered by contacting the Division of Criminal Justice Services online or at 1-800-262-3257.

This law will be set out to prevent cases such as the one where school teacher who was on probation for a sex offense conviction privately tutored a 15 year old boy in. It was determined that he violated the terms of his probation and was once again arrested. Many sex offenders are not on parole or probation therefore they are not barred from acquiring such positions. The Schumer Legislation will prevent this from occurring.

Many stores including barbershops, bodegas and delis sell a homemade drink called a “Nutcracker.” The drink is a mix of fruit flavored vodka and fruit punch or any colorful, fruity drink. They often cost $5.00 and are sold in plastic containers commonly used by Chinese food restaurants for soup take-out. The stores usually have licenses to sell alcohol and liquor, but have been lax on checking the identification of the buyers. Many minors have been able to purchase this adult beverage as a result. New York State Liquor Authority has vowed to stop these illegal sales to minors. They will be sending undercover agents into stores to buy the drink across the boroughs. They have already fined five stores in Manhattan and Bronx, with promises of more to be fined. Endangering the Welfare of a Child is a charge that could be filed.
