Description:
Columbus, Nebraska criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant seeking postconviction relief.
On January 8, 2021, Allen's 7-year-old daughter informed her teacher that Allen sexually abused her. In a subsequent forensic interview, she described how Allen vaginally and orally penetrated her on numerous occasions.
On February 24, 2021, Allen was charged with first degree sexual assault of a child and incest. On June 21, due to his actions toward the juvenile's mother, Allen was charged in a separate case with witness tampering. Because both cases centered around the same facts, the State moved to join the two cases for trial. Allen was appointed two attorneys, Joel E. Carlson and Douglas J. Stratton.
A plea agreement was ultimately reached, and a plea hearing was held on September 30, 2021. Allen pled no contest to attempted first degree sexual assault of a child and witness tampering, both Class II felonies.
