MR. KHOJAYAN REDUCES AND TERMINATES CLIENT’S AGREED UPON SENTENCE OF A LIFETIME SUPERVISED RELEASE FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY POSSESSION
Los Angeles, California — Our client was previously sentenced in federal court for possession of over 100 videos and 600 images of child pornography and separate financial crimes. As part of his plea agreement with the government to resolve his charges, the client had agreed to a lifetime of supervised release and to not seek to reduce it.
However, since getting released from prison, he had been worked successfully in sales and been providing for his family. He paid his restitution and fines. The psychologist paid for by the probation office considered him a low risk of reoffending. He wanted to reduce and terminate his lifetime supervised release so that he could travel more freely including for his family winter vacations.
Shaun Khojayan filed a motion for the early termination his lifetime supervised release after he had served only four and half years of supervised release. Mr. Khojayan prepared and attached to his motion a list of over 90 cases in which similar (and worse) offenders had received only five years of supervised release. See Exhibit A. (attached here). The Court agreed to reduce his lifetime supervised release to five years and terminate it early. The client was overjoyed with the result. He was again free to travel out of state and the United States — without court approval or involvement.
