Sheriff’s office to prosecutor and prosecutor’s filing decision. Ninety-five percent of the cases went on
to the Prosecutor’s office. Five cases were referred to Juvenile Court. Six (6%) of the referred cases were
not filed by the Prosecutor’s office due to: need for further investigation, insufficient evidence, victim
whereabouts unknown, resolution of difference between victim and perpetrator, and other reasons. Thirty-
five percent of perpetrator cases from the Sheriff-Arrest sample were filed as felonies. The Prosecutor
deferred no felony cases.
Criminal proceedings. Of the perpetrator cases that were filed as felonies, 34% reached criminal court
and were completed. More than one quarter (28%) of the arrested perpetrators in the sample pled guilty
in criminal court, 2% pled no contest to the charges. Other cases were dismissed, went to trial or were
found not guilty. Nearly all of the perpetrator cases filed as misdemeanors (49 cases) were completed in
criminal court.
The outcomes for misdemeanors and felonies in the Sheriff-Arrest sample were largely similar.
Twenty-three percent of the perpetrators pled guilty to the charges filed. Ten percent of the cases were
“nol-pros” dismissals in criminal court, and in 8% of the cases there was a no contest plea. Four cases
(4%) resulted in pretrial interventions that led to case closing. Two cases reached trial, one of which
was a no jury trial and the other a jury trial in which there was a finding of guilt. Two percent of
