Overview
- Prosecutors officially closed the criminal case in late June after a counselor told the Miami‑Dade Advocate Program that Hochstein met all program requirements and asked for dismissal.
- Hochstein and then‑boyfriend Jody Glidden were arrested on a felony interception charge in April after prosecutors said the pair allegedly tried to record oral communications tied to her divorce with Lenny Hochstein.
- Court filings say the alleged incidents occurred between March 12 and March 31, 2023, and included reports that a listening device was placed on Lenny Hochstein’s vehicle, an allegation the defendants denied.
- Miami‑Dade’s pretrial diversion program is an alternative to prosecution for certain nonviolent cases that requires voluntary participation and conditions to be met before charges are dropped.
- Hochstein and her attorneys said they are relieved and argued the charges should not have been filed, and the dismissal ends criminal exposure while the underlying allegations remain in past filings and could still affect civil matters or public reputation.
