Selweski: #MeToo Candidate’s Law Firm Boasts of Defending Sex Misconduct Cases

Dana Nessel has enjoyed national media attention as the Democratic candidate for Michigan attorney general tied to the women’s #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct,but her role as a defense attorney presents a much different picture.

 

The Nessel and Kessel firm boasts online about its successful track record in helping men fight personal protection orders (PPOs) issued by the courts to safeguard a woman who feels threatened or in danger. Nessel, according to the firm’s website, also specializes in getting men removed from the Sex Offender Registry,the state’s public list of those convicted of sex crimes.

 

What’s more, the Nessel sales pitch tells potential clients facing criminal charges that aggressive lawyering in court can cause a woman’s story about sexual assault or harassment or even rape to be picked apart by using the Nessel and Kessel tactics toward cross-examination of the alleged victim.

 

12-Year-Old Girl Grilled

 

Among success stories on the law firm’s website is a 2015 case in which Nessel and Kessel won an acquittal for a man accused ofraping his 11-year-old niece. The defendant had previously served time two decades ago in a separate case on the same type of charge:first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child under 13.

 

In the more recent case, the initial rape trial ended with a deadlocked jury – an 11-1 vote in favor of guilty. In the retrial, Nessel’s young protégé, attorney Chris Kessel, grilled the alleged victim, who was then 12,on the witness stand. Details of this case are prominently displayed on the website:

 

“Chris Kessel carefully and meticulously took apart the complaining witness’s story, piece by piece … Cross-examining a 12-year-old girl about an alleged rape is not something you learn overnight. It is something you learn with countless hours of study and experience. Criminal sexual conduct cases are not cases that just any attorney can handle. It takes an experienced criminal defense attorney, who knows what buttons to push and when to push them, to successfully defend against this type of charge.”

Opinion: Attorney General Dana Nessel must not weaponize her office

The American Freedom Law Center filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Dana Nessel, the Michigan Attorney General, and Agustin Arbulu, director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, challenging a policy directive which they announced via a joint press release last February.

 

In their public release, they stated an intention to target groups in Michigan designated by the radical, left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center as “hate groups.”

 

The George Soros-funded SPLC has for years dishonestly and falsely labeled its political opponents as “hate groups”based on their conservative (typically Christian and Jewish) views in an effort to marginalize them and the work they do.
