Defense Against a Spousal Coercion Charge in New York

This case study examines how defense counsel successfully resolved a coercion charge filed by a spouse during a highly emotional marital dispute. The client and his wife had long participated in intimate activities that involved inviting third parties—always after mutual discussion and shared agreement. According to the client, these arrangements were initiated voluntarily, with both spouses reviewing profiles and selecting participants together.Over time, however, the marriage deteriorated due to the wife’s gambling losses and later infidelity. When the client finally requested a divorce, the wife retaliated by filing a criminal complaint alleging a coercion charge, claiming she was forced into sexual acts without consent.The defense team’s task was to demonstrate that the allegations were inconsistent with the couple’s history, unsupported by evidence, and motivated by personal conflict rather than criminal coercion.

In New York, allegations involving aiding and abetting DUI can expose even passengers to significant criminal scrutiny, particularly when the case involves minors or aggravating circumstances. This case study examines how a teenager was investigated for allegedly facilitating a DUI related offense, what legal standards govern aiding and abetting DUI under New York law, and how a structured defense strategy led to a no action determination by the court. Through this case, readers can understand how New York prosecutors evaluate a passenger’s intent, knowledge, and conduct when deciding whether criminal liability applies. This case is especially instructive because the client was already subject to prior juvenile dispositions, which heightened the risk of court imposed supervision or restrictive placement. Nevertheless, a comprehensive defense approach successfully established that the client neither encouraged nor knowingly assisted impaired driving, ultimately eliminating exposure to criminal consequences.
