Florida criminal defense attorney Michelle Suskauer recently spoke with The Real Deal about Miami-Dade prosecutors’ decision to dismiss the sexual battery case against Ohad Fisherman, a development that could influence the state’s separate case against real estate brokers Oren and Alon Alexander.
“If the person who was allegedly holding her down was not there and she was completely wrong, her credibility is directly at issue and it’s fair game,” Suskauer said.
Suskauer also discussed the lasting damage such allegations can cause, even when charges are dropped.
“Once you have been accused of a crime, even if you are completely vindicated, that stain is on you,” she said. “It’s really, really difficult to repair a reputation, especially one that involves alleged sexual assault.”
