COMPUTER SYSTEM ACCESS FRAUD (F.S. § 815.06), ORGANIZED FRAUD (Less Than $20,000) (F.S. § 817.034(4)(a)3)
DEFERRED PROSECUTION
Santa Rosa County, FL
September 17, 2025
Client was charged in Santa Rosa County, Florida with multiple felony counts tied to an alleged fraud scheme, including Accessing a Computer System Without Authorization With Intent to Defraud or Obtain Property (F.S. § 815.06), Organized Fraud (Less Than $20,000) (F.S. § 817.034(4)(a)3), and Criminal Mischief ($1,000 or Greater) (F.S. § 806.13(1)(b)3). These were third-degree felony exposures—up to 5 years in prison per count (and up to a $5,000 fine per count)—meaning the case carried potentially life-changing consequences if the charges stuck.
After sustained, trial-ready pressure on the State and a disciplined negotiation posture, we secured a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA): a structured, time-limited term with conditions (including staying arrest-free and completing financial obligations), with the State agreeing that if the terms were satisfied it would not prosecute and would file a “Nolle Pros.”
