Recently, a Palm Harbor businessman was denied bail after being accused of trying to rape an acquaintance. DeCoursy, the defendant, was placed on probation for a similar crime just one month prior to the incident. The victim claimed that DeCoursy forced the victim onto his bed and attempted to rip her clothes off as she struggled and eventually got away. DeCoursy is charged with attempted sexual battery, tampering with a witness and false imprisonment.
Cases of this nature will find themselves in the Pinellas County Circuit Court. If DeCoursy would have committed a federal offense, it would have been filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The difference in which court you file in can be significant. It is important for your attorney to know where to file.
