Do We Really Need Another Reason?


Lawyer allegedly found naked with teen
PHILADELPHIA - A criminal defense lawyer was arrested after a sheriff's deputy found him naked with a 14-year-old girl in a courthouse conference room, authorities said Tuesday.The deputy looked into the room during rounds Monday afternoon and discovered 49-year-old Larry Charles and the girl, said Lt. Dan Bagnell of the police department's Special Victims Unit."He had asked for sex. But there was no physical contact we're aware of," Bagnell said.

Bagnell said the girl was not a client of Charles, but their exact relationship was unclear.Charles was charged with solicitation, attempted statutory sexual assault and related counts. He was awaiting arraignment Tuesday and bail had not yet been set. A woman who answered the phone at his office said she could not comment.Courts were closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but the courthouse was open for attorneys who needed to conduct business in the building.
