Geoffrey Downs was cult leader Eugene Hoff's defense attorney.
Detectives from the Special Victims Unit arrested Hoff for several offenses. They wanted to charge him for statutory rape and incest, because of his deceased sixteen year old daughter, whom conceived a child with her father. Downs was able to get the charges dismissed quickly, because there wasn't any conclusive evidence for the age of his deceased daughter. He argued that no judge would take a guess as proof of age. The Detectives had no other choice, then to let Hoff go free. (SVU: "Charisma")
