Nothing says “Martin Luther King, Jr. Day” better than…
Turns out the Tennessee Police Chief I wrote about yesterday (the guy who steals from charity and keeps porn on his cop computer) isn’t really that bad in the grand scheme of things. After all, he could be 49-year-old criminal defense attorney Larry Charles.
On Monday, the Philadelphia courts were closed in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. day. However, attorneys who needed to conduct business were allowed in to use the court conference rooms. So on Monday afternoon, a sheriff’s deputy was doing his regular rounds in the Criminal Justice Center when he found Larry Charles in one of the conference rooms. Naked. With a 14-year-old girl.
Charles was her godfather and, according to the girl’s mother, a family friend and trusted mentor. Uhm…so much for that.
A copy in the city’s SVU unit says that Charles had asked the girl for sex but, thankfully, there were no signs of what would amount to totally inappropriate nooky. Charles has been charged with solicitation and attempted statutory sexual assault, along with related counts.
No word yet on whether Charles is going to try to defend himself by saying this was caused by the Billy Penn curse and depression over yet another crushing post-season loss for the Eagles. …or by claiming that he’s the other Larry Charles and that he was just doing research for the next Borat flick.
