This is a tremendous relief for Mr. Rutan. Instead of years behind bars, he is free. He gets to see his child.


SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

The Rosenfeld Law Firm announced today that a man facing charges of rape and violation of a restraining order has had all the charges against him dismissed as a result of the efforts of California criminal defense attorney Ken Rosenfeld.

According to the Superior Court of California, County of Placer (Case #62-176083), Rutan had initially been accused of raping and impregnating an immigrant woman from Albania he had met online. A permanent restraining order (PRO) was consequently placed against Rutan who was accused of violating his PRO by appearing at the woman’s home and was placed in jail. Although advised by his then-attorney to plea to sexual battery and receive its lower penalties (as per California Penal Code §243.4(a)), Rutan, acting on a second opinion received from Rosenberg just prior to his appearance in court, refused to plea. Rutan retained Rosenfeld as his defense attorney. Rosenfeld, supported by the discoveries of a private investigator, successfully showed not only that the woman in question had been seeking a green card and claimed she was raped only after Rutan refused to marry her, but also that the restraining order violation was the result of a setup orchestrated by the woman. As a result, all charges against Rutan were dismissed.

Rosenfeld said his client was relieved to put the matter behind him.

“This is a tremendous relief for Mr. Rutan,” said Rosenfeld. “Instead of years behind bars, he is free. He gets to see his child.”
