This week a Tampa porn star has been arrested on domestic violence battery charges. Stefanie Clifford, a/k/a Stormy Daniels, allegedly became upset at her husband, Michael Mosny, over the laundry being done incorrectly and the bills going unpaid. She is accused of throwing a potted plant and a wedding album, knocking over candles and repeatedly striking her husband with her fists. Tampa Police responded to the scene and arrested Daniels on domestic violence battery charges. She posted a $1,000 bond and is awaiting trial out of jail.
A domestic battery charge is a serious criminal offense that is not to be taken lightly. Florida law states that the crime of domestic violence battery occurs if an individual intentionally strikes a family or member of the household that results in injury. Depending on the severity of the offense committed, and/or prior convictions, determines whether the crime is a misdemeanor or a felony charge.
I am not Ms. Daniels attorney, nor do I possess any information that may jeopardize attorney/client privileges. I am successful Tampa Criminal Lawyer whose firm has over 100 years of combined experience. I have personally handled countless domestic violence battery cases.
In an effort to keep all parties safe, Florida law requires that the responding officer take the primary attacker into custody. If the altercation is not violent and the police are merely contacted to take control of the situation, the officers may ask one party to leave the premises for a cooling off period. The State does not tolerate acts of violence and will vigorously prosecute offenders.
I understand that sometimes in our personal lives tempers can flare and an argument can turn physical. Good people can make mistakes. It is important to contact a knowledgeable Tampa Criminal Defense Attorney to dissect the charges against you, guide you through the Court system and help you get your personal life back on track.
