Broward Sex Crimes Prosecutor Arrested for Shoplifting
Broward County Assistant State Attorney Stacey Honowitz, who has prosecuted crimes for nearly 30 years, was caught shoplifting from a Publix Supermarket in Aventura. She was a supervisor in the sex crimes unit.
The Aventura police released security camera footage showing Honowitz stealing approximately $40 worth of cosmetics. While her attorney claims she stuck the items into her purse and simply forgot to pay for them, she went into her purse to pay for other groceries and again to purchase a lottery ticket.
Nobody should be above the law – certainly not someone who prosecutes others for doing so.
UPDATED: The charges were Nolle Prossed

I hope you can keep us informed on what, if anything, happens to this “paragon of virtue and defender of the law.” (yes, I’m being facetious.)
So she was “detained” and not arrested nor booked. There is no mug shot to be found on the internet. See how the media emphasizes that she had a clean record before this? How many of us got the same balanced coverage……….NONE!
This is a travesty, she will be exonerated and record expunged. Back to work next week after a mock “investigation.” Of course that story won’t be in the media.
She is a thief, plain & simple. I think that you steal 10 times, on average before you are caught.
Forget the shoplifting charge….
How many LIVES has she STOLEN thru false statements, false accusations….. all in the name of “justice”?????
And of course, she is going to get a “free pass” on this.
I think we should review all of her cases and see how many FACTS has she “hidden” in her purse in the pursuit of justice.
” Ideally “, it would be fair that she be tried by the likes of us. lol.
Hypocrite – I hope they create a new registry for thieves such as this. The public has a right to know to “protect” their property. lol
It would not be punishment but simply administrative.
Exactly what I was thinking.
U’d think (or hope) now she might understand the other side
Stacy Honowitz was the prosecutor / LIAR in my case.
She took a statement that denied every accusation levied against me and told the Judge “she had a confession”!!!!
Warf on Star Trek said it best..
“Revenge is a dish that is best served COLD”
Couldnt have happened to a nicer person.
Folks, here’s what will likely happen. She will be diverted into a pretrial program that consists of a fine and some probationary time less than one year since theft of anything below $300 in Florida is a misdemeanor. Upon successful completion of those and any other court requirements she will be discharged without a conviction since the charges will be “diverted” and dropped. No substantial jail time. No serious punishment. No real stigma. She’ll keep her license to practice law and most likely her job as a prosecutor. That’s it. Frankly, I’d be happier about it if there was some sort of shoplifter’s registration requirements with criminal penalties attached for failing to register or for omitting information on a public registry they way sex offenders (even misdemeanor violators) face everyday.
She isn’t facing jail time to begin with.
It’ll likely be dismissed.
An interesting fact, according to the Miami Herald, is that her brother got popped for theft 5 years ago in Colorado and she went up to testify and kept mentioning her job as a prosecutor. Her brother was let free.
Hopefully the shame of being caught as a shoplifter and being all over the news will give her a very, very, very small taste of what it’s like.
