Alleged Perv Lawyer Somehow Gets Worse

Friday, the Alleged Perv Lawyer — aka Larry Charles — had his preliminary hearing on Friday in Family Court and had his charges upgraded to include rape. Yes, the Alleged Perv Lawyer is allegedly worse than anyone originally thought.

The 14-year-old girl who he allegedly had sex with testified that in early December he slapped her across the face when she refused to go to his office near 10th and Chestnut. And although the girl protested, he pushed her on the couch and penetrated her. He then bought her off with boots afterward at Bare Feet Shoes.

On the day he was caught, MLK Day, the girl sat on his lap while “his ding-a-ling” — damn you, Chuck Berry — got hard and later ejaculated before the girl got dressed. Then sheriff’s deputies, who knew something was up when Charles said the girl didn’t read or write English while she signed her name in the logbook (although I guess she could do that even if she didn’t write English).

In addition to all the horrible criminal stuff he did, he took the girl to “Red Lobster, Chinese buffet and Old Country Buffet.” So he’s allegedly a horrible monster and he has a horrible taste in restaurants.

Jan. 19: Spotting The Alleged Perv Lawyer Is Now Philadelphia’s Official Sport

Spotting The Alleged Perv Lawyer Is Now Philadelphia’s Official Sport

Remember when Rick Mariano was indicted and yet he still kept going to City Council meetings? Okay, another Philadelphian can one-up that: Larry Charles, the lawyer alleged to have attempted to have sex with a 14-year-old, represented several clients in court yesterday.

The Daily News‘ Wendy Ruderman has a lot of fun with this, describing how the building was abuzz with sightings of Charles:

Looking for Larry became something of a sport as the morning wore on. Another sheriff’s deputy who got tipped off rushed to Room 705 for a sneak peek, only to be disappointed.

“I was told he was here,” he said. “I missed him.”

More importantly, the Daily News headline finally gives us a nickname for this dude: “Alleged perv lawyer.” Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Here’s What You Want: The Sordid Details

All the local news sources have much, much more on Larry Charles today, the man arrested for trying to have sex with a 14-year-old in honor of Martin Luther King.

Thanks to Adam Bonin, we also know this about Charles: He was the late Old Dirty Bastard’s attorney.

Anyway, now Charles is locally famous for not just being ODB’s attorney but also for trying to rape a 14-year-old. The story goes like this (all of this, of course, allegedly): The girl and Charles went to the Criminal Justice Center on MLK Day. The CJC was closed, but Charles said he just wanted to help the girl post bail for someone. They then retreated into a conference room, where Charles took off all his clothes and asked the girl if she wanted to have sex. When she said no, he masturbated. Sheriff’s deputies eventually found the two after busting open the door, which was held closed by a chair.

Oh, yeah, and the girl’s his goddaughter. He’s charged with all the usuals, and also with burglary.
The Daily News also examined his permanent record and listed every single thing he’s ever done wrong at the end of the paper’s article:

In 1990, Charles, then a counselor for the Philadelphia Youth Advocate Program, was fined $1,000 and sentenced to two years’ probation for falsifying records to indicate he was taking care of troubled juveniles when he actually wasn’t. Four other counselors were fined as well.

And according to court records, Charles was arrested in 1979 on charges of indecent assault, indecent exposure and corrupting the morals of a minor, but the charges were dropped.

The state Department of Revenue, meanwhile, has filed a $28,000 lien against a property Charles owns on 77th Avenue near Ogontz Avenue in West Oak Lane.

I love the use of the word “meanwhile.” Are we supposed to assume the Revenue Department was filing a lien against his property at the exact same time he was trying to bone a 14-year-old?
