Cases Won – Sex Offender with ADHD (AOs)
RESULTS: Revocation Beat! Hearing Canceled! The DOC canceled the final revocation hearing and accepted Sydne’s proposed ATR.
Violations: Failed Sex Offender Polygraphs & Unauthorized Consensual Sex. Client, a registered sex offender, violated rules by having consensual sex with several adult women without obtaining prior permission from his agent. Client also failed several polygraphs, which are standard with sex offender probation. Based on her background and training administering diagnostic evaluations for learning disorders, Sydne had client tested and a diagnosis of ADHD was revealed. She argued the impulsivity from an untreated diagnosis of ADHD was driving the conduct in the violations and proposed an ATR (alternative to revocation) to the DOC that would include medication therapy, and counseling.
