PHILADELPHIA — A criminal defense lawyer was arrested after a sheriff's deputy found him naked with a 14-year-old girl in a courthouse conference room, authorities said Tuesday.
Larry Charles, 49, has been charged with solicitation, attempted statutory sexual assault and related counts, said Lt. Dan Bagnell of the police department's Special Victims Unit.
A sheriff's deputy making his rounds in the Criminal Justice Center on Monday afternoon looked into a lawyers' conference room on the third floor and discovered Charles and the girl, Bagnell said.

"He had asked for sex. But there was no physical contact we're aware of" by the time the deputy arrived on the scene, Bagnell said.
Bagnell said the girl was not a client of Charles, but their exact relationship was not clear.
Charles was awaiting arraignment early Tuesday afternoon and bail was not yet set. A woman who answered the phone at his office said she could not immediately comment.

Sounds like the "alledgedly" could be omitted from the headline--LOL!
Sounds like he's going to need a good defense attorney.
Larry Charles, your life ends in ruin and disgrace.
"It's only about sex...."
"You drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park..."
"Criminal defense lawyer" almost seems redundant.
For crying out loud.
He was probably her client.
Nonsense! This is the beginning of his new Oprah book tour.
Do all attorneys run naked around the courthouse? Ok, it is alledgedly. Do people get alledgedly naked?
Right. It was proved in a court of law!
This line says alot about this man;
"Prosecutors alleged he and several others filed false wage claims while they worked for a youth program under contract with the city between 1986 and 1988."
He worked with a youth program, most pedophiles find work or activities taht will get them access to young victims.
My guess is that if a check was done you would find he had victims back then too.
Will he be representing himself in court?
Ah yes, the lawyer industry at work. Just a typical day with our attorney friends doing what they always do. You remember, the shysters who have stolen so much of our freedom through their corrupt courts.
"...Your Honor...she's actually my cleaning lady and...well, I had an accident right before an important dinner that soiled my suit and........yes.......yes, well, she's actually the daughter of my cleaning lady and was gonna take the suit to.........oh.....the underwear; ummm......well I figured what the heck, may as well get it all cleaned and.......well, imagine my embarrassment..."
I'm surprised they didn't list his full name: Larry Muhammad Osama Hussein Charles. He's a devout follower of the Prophet Muhammad, who married a 9 year old girl. He'll have a strong civil rights defense because he wasn't allowed to follow the teachings of Islam.
But the charges were dropped because the evidence wouldn't stand up in court.
