|
(1) Three years after receiving proof of
successful completion of the two-year
treatment program, and following proof
to the court that the petitioner has
complied with the conditions imposed by
the court following successful
completion of the two-year treatment
program, but not before five years
following entry of the order of deferred
prosecution pursuant to a petition
brought under RCW
10.05.020(1),
the court shall dismiss the charges
pending against the petitioner.
(2) When a deferred prosecution is
ordered pursuant to a petition brought
under RCW
10.05.020(2)
and the court has received proof that
the petitioner has successfully
completed the child welfare service
plan, or the plan has been terminated
because the alleged victim has reached
his or her majority and there are no
other minor children in the home, the
court shall dismiss the charges pending
against the petitioner: PROVIDED, That
in any case where the petitioner's
parental rights have been terminated
with regard to the alleged victim due to
abuse or neglect that occurred during
the pendency of the deferred
prosecution, the termination shall be
per se evidence that the petitioner did
not successfully complete the child
welfare service plan. |
