51 y/o TX Man faces Life in Prison for Arrest in Police Internet Child Predator Sting ~ Call Michael A., Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 51 y/o Michael Doherty (that's his U.S. Marshall mug shot below)....





MD is a former youth sports coach from Cedar Park, Texas, who traveled to a hotel in Lake Mary, Florida earlier this month, armed with a "Disney dress" for a 10 y/o girl, believing that he was meeting said 10 y/o girl and her father for sex - but who was instead hauled away in cuffs as part of a police internet sting operation.




Undercover federal agents first messaged MD in March, 2015 after determining that he had posted an online advertisement saying that he enjoyed incestuous sexual relationships. MD thought that he was messaging with a man who was having sex with his 10 y/o daughter. In his responses to the "father" MD said that he had sexually abused four (4) children between the ages of eight (8) and twelve (12) within the last three (3) years.  MD sent nude photos of himself for the father to show to his daughter and said that he wanted to watch him abuse the young girl over Skype.  In late March, MD and the "father" began discussing a meeting so that MD could watch the man abuse his daughter in person, and they agreed to meet on April 8, 2015 when MD was traveling to the area for business. 





Ahead of the meeting MD told the "father" that he was having second thoughts:  "I told myself I would never do that again, yet here I am about to."  And so he did, as on April 8th MD drove from Miami to Lake Mary, stopping to buy the undisclosed Disney character dress along the way.  MD and the father, er the undercover agent, met at a hotel where MD was promptly arrested.  MD reportedly claimed that he had wanted to meet up with the man to confront him about the abuse and did not intend to meet with the girl.  MD reportedly stated that it would have been "hypocritical" for him to report the father's behavior so, instead, he decided to speak to the warped man about it face-to-face.  MD also allegedly acknowledged to cops that he had been writing stories online about having sex with children for about a decade.  MD is being held in the Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford, FL without bail and faces up to life behind bars if he is convicted of attempted sexual enticement of a minor.  MD is now "Disney on Ice", er "On Ice in Disney"...





Memo to Michael Doherty:   You are a child predator, not a very clever one at that, and what you got caught doing is, frankly, inexcusable.   That said, and based upon the reports that I read, you compounded your problems by attempting to talk your way out of your situation. That said...

Memo to MD (& the Folks):   There is a time and a place and a means to tell your story to the cops, and it is almost never by you, in the moment and at the scene.  If you get popped, for anything, anywhere, at anytime, then you will almost certainly be doing yourself a favor by INVOKING and waiting for your skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer to determine the logistics, and the linguistics, of disclosing your version of events.






When it comes to the subject of "Cops, Courts and Constitutions" you should always have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who is focused on serving your interests.  While we can't stop the cops from arresting you, as your legal counsel Michael A. Haber, PA will ensure that your rights are respected from the moment that representation begins and that any abuses which may have occurred beforehand are remedied.

Is it kidnapping when you relocate your child to another state? ~ "Best Answer" on AVVO.com ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Q:     Is it possible that I have a warrant for my arrest?  The father of my 5 month old son just told me that there is a warrant out for my arrest. He is the biological father of my son, but he is not on the birth certificate or anything. He has no legal obligation to my son and I have not put him on child support. We lived 4 hours away from each other in Florida, but I moved to Texas 3 days ago because my family lost the house in Florida. He was upset and said he wanted the address to where I was in Texas. I didn't give it to him because he was threatening me. I guess he called the police in Texas and now he claims there is a warrant for my arrest for kidnapping. Is that even possible? There is no court order and he is technically not my son's legal father as of yet. What are my options? What should I do? Florida has jurisdiction of my son.

Answered .  I don't know if you have a warrant or not (anything is possible) but I do know that, absent a Court Order restricting your parental rights, it is legally impossible for you to kidnap your own biological kid. 

So if that is "His" claim then I call "BS" on it.  (Note that this does not preclude the possibility that "He" found the world's dumbest cop in the world's dumbest department... there's a reasonable possibility that both exist here in the 305, but while this is "possible" this remains well beyond the realm of the "probable").

There are rules in FL about relocating a minor w/o a court order (See F.S. 61.13001 - http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0000-0099/0061/Sections/0061.13001.html - which makes it unlawful to move a child sans a Court Order more than 50 miles from her/his residence) but this only applies where the child is subject to the UCCJA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction ACT) and another parent / person has legal rights to the child.  In this case, absent a declaration of paternity even that would not apply to you, leaving you free to relocate with neither permission being required nor your being subject to prosecution for your unilateral decision.  "
He" is free to file a paternity case and establish parental rights, but that has no bearing on what you have done.  Yup... I definitely call "BS" on this one.

M
y advise:  Establish TX residence for you and your child and force him to levy and family law fight there.

I hope I've been helpful to you.

Cat Burglar ~ Man Breaks. Enters, Snacks, Naps is Awoken, Bolts & Gets Caught ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Unfortunately, scour the internet as I did, I simply cannot find a picture of 44 y/o James Adams of Pacerville, CA, who was arrested last Thursday, April 23rd, 2015, for burglary and resisting arrest.  






The victim, a Petaluma, CA woman, had walked downstairs from her second floor bedroom at about 2:00 pm last Thursday to find Adams, a stranger, asleep on her couch.  She quickly ran upstairs, shut herself in the bedroom and dialed 911.





The homeowner provided a detailed description to cops who were able to quickly respond and set up a perimeter.  The woman remained on the phone with police dispatch until they had surrounded the home and was then instructed to to flee the house quickly.





As she ran down the stairs Adams awoke.  He too bolted out, the back door being his choice of egress, kicking down fence boards and gaining entry into a neighbors lawn, where two (2) awaiting Petaluma Cops were lying in wait.





After a brief struggle Adams, and a taser discharge or two (2), Adams was cuffed.  After a stop at the hospital he was medically cleared and taken to the Sonoma County Jail, where he is not stranger (reportedly having previously been booked for narcotics, weapons and battery on police officers) with priors in both CA and OR.





What makes this story different from most others is that Adams broke into this home and decided to take a nap on the sofa, but only after pillaging the fridge and baking himself some Tater Tots (yes, you read that right, Adams broke, entered, baked Tater Tots, sat himself on the couch and took a nap).





Yes, I'm seriously...





Apparently James Adams is cat "nap" burglar.

With this prior criminal history how much time is "he" looking at? _"Best Answer" on AVVO.com ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Q:     Ok I'm going to try to sum it up as briefly as i can... He went to prison for two years for 1 vop for depositing with intent to defraud, 5 vops for grand theft motor vehicle, 2 vops for uttering a forged instrument, 1 vop for possession of controlled substance, and 1 vop for grand theft third degree, plus new charges of 1 obtaining food lodge with intent to defraud, 1 uttering a forged instrument, 1 grand theft third degree, 21 worthless check charges, 1 organized fraud, 2 obtaining property for worthless check charges and 1 counterfeit payment charge. He did his time and got out July 1st 2014. He then was arrested again Jan 2015, less than 7 months from being released and got charged a possession of parapherenalia and or use, a possession of meth ( he had 2 grams on him according to police report) and a driving while license is suspended or revoked habitual. He also has had several other charges previously over the years since 2006. He seems to be on cloud nine and thinks he walks on water and that hes going to walk with probation. I'm not judge or lawyer but that is just crazy to me if he does, there doesn't seem to be any possible way he isn't going to do more time. What could he be looking at?

Answered My money is on "Him" going away for a loooooooooooong time.

With that criminal history / record any prosecutor worth their weight in dog cr*p will do her/his best to enhance "Him" (perhaps as a PERP - a prison release offender) and otherwise to have "Him" launched to the moon; and if "He" is found guilty then any Judge with an ounce of sense will almost certainly decide that "He" has absolutely no regard for either the law or the rules of society and will, in fact, likely launch "Him" to the moon.

That said "He" may enjoy defenses to his charges, affirmative or otherwise, or there may be a factual, legal, procedural or substantive mechanism which "His" lawyer can use to beat "His" case.  

Still, the fact remains that "He" is looking at the statutory maximum, whatever that may factor out to be, and if "He" is found guilty then "He" will probably (almost certainly based upon your proffer) get each and every minute of it. 

I hope that I've been helpful in answering your question.
