Orange County sex crimes defense attorney Michael Guisti, recently read this article and commented on it. He states that Garcia will be facing several charges. He could be charged with the lewd acts on a child, Hit and Run, and evading police. The Southern California criminal defense attorney goes on to say that these charges of a lewd act on a child can be found in the California Penal code 288 (a) Any person who willfully and lewdly commits any lewd or lascivious act, upon or with the body, or any part or member thereof, of a child who is under the age of 14 years, with the intent of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child. This is a felony and any person convicted of this crime can face up to eight years in prison. The Orange County criminal attorney also predicts that the defendant will have an additional charge of a hit and run. This is found in the California Vehicle code 2002. It states that any person involved in an accident must stop and locate the owner of the vehicle, and written notice of the damage. In California this is considered a misdemeanor and can mean jail times and a large fine.
