HIALEAH, Fla. - A former assistant state attorney with the 20th Judicial Circuit was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a woman as an offer to make her pending criminal charges go away.

Miami Dade police officers arrested Juan Mercado, 29, for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that had an acting arrest warrant for him. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the case.

The 20th Judicial Circuit cover Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee Counties.


The woman was being prosecuted for domestic battery, and Mercado offered to "make her case go away" in exchange for sex, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.


Mercado was not the assigned prosecutor on the case but did access records and provided information and advice to the woman, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.

Mercado was arrested for bribery, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Mercado was taken to the Miami-Dade Jail, and the Office of the State Attorney, 12th Judicial Circuit, will prosecute the case.

Mercado offered to "make her case go away" in exchange for sex.
Do ya think Mercado will offer the judge a blow job to "make his case go away"?

I can't do links.
Google DA William Higgins, Bedford Pa.


The dirt bag was being lenient with women for sex.
Mostly drug cases, he cut deals for them or let them
"Work off" the charges of others. He also tipped drug
raids, and outed informers.

Google it. It's a settled case.

And you won't believe the punishment for a law enforcement
individual involved in drug trafficking, and one who risk informants
lives.

That seems like a fair trade!

People will do nearly anything to get their jollies.

This is a standard way for divorce attorneys to help attractive soon to be divorcees to reduce her legal costs.

Probably the first time that has ever happened.

I bet so

A judge near Nashville got busted for very similar “practices”.

Really difficult to judge the extent of guilt here without pics of said young lady.

Late one night in the little California town where I was living, one of the town's patrol cars went "radio silent" for an extended period of time. After a panicky search of the area involving cars from several surrounding towns and the Highway Patrol, the missing car was found- - - - -parked behind a local business, with the cop and a young lady locked in the caged-off back seat. Neither one was fully dressed. When the details finally came out, it seems a DUI stop at around bar closing time was being handled with some "non-judicial punishment" and somebody snuck up and slammed the door on them! The cop resigned and moved out of town!

That would be my luck

My dad was an attorney, he said lots of women make an offer of sex for payment.

Bet lots of attorneys judges and cops take it up too.
I had an acquaintance who was the deputy jail keeper with women detainees. you will never guess why his wife divorced him

30 years ago, a local atty got busted when his client spat out a mouthful of DNA evidence after a “consultation”.

What was it the DC Mayor Marion Berry had to say about situations like that???
