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.

Maybe he can use the Chewbacca defence?

Attorney Allegedly Found Naked

Either a person is naked or he/she is not. This is not difficult to ascertain when the arresting officer's eyes are open.

Didn't think it could be much worse, but Larry, you done it.

Sounds like he was trying to be her client.

I'm confused. Is Philly the new Atlanta or is it vice versa?

Adding on from the local news radio station:

A well-known Philadelphia lawyer has been arrested and charged with numerous offenses. Police say he was discovered naked, in a private lounge area of the Criminal Justice Center, with a 14-year-old girl.

Defense attorney Larry Charles has been charged with sexual assault, corrupting the morals of a minor, and several other crimes.

Police say Charles and the girl went into the CJC on Monday. Courts were not in session because of the Martin Luther King holiday, but Charles said the girl wanted to post bail for someone.

After the pair was not seen for a while, and CJC guards could not find them in the area where bail is posted, they began searching and eventually found the pair in a locked third-floor lounge area set aside for lawyers.

The Criminal Justice Center is located at Juniper and Filbert Streets, just yards northeast of City Hall.

Charles' law license was suspended following his no-contest plea in September 1990 to tampering with public records. 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 knows other attorneys, some skilled in letting the guilty go free. He'll find a way out of it.
