Criminal charges of child molestation may be legitimate accusations of wrongdoing. Society holds that children should not be sexually exploited. In many cases, however, when we represent defendants in child molestation cases, we find other factors at work, such as the following:
- Parents involved in child custody battles making false accusations against each other
- Child witnesses whose testimony has been tainted by suggestive coaching by counselors or other adults
- Child or adult witnesses who have exaggerated the facts in an attempt to get revenge or pursue some ulterior motive
- Misunderstanding in adult-child interactions
Do not underestimate the risk to your freedom and your future if you are charged with child sexual abuse. You may believe or know that the incident in question was not what it has been construed to be by prosecutors, police or complaining witnesses (the child or adults who relay a child's report of improper exposure, touching or fondling). You may feel that you have been framed or backed into a corner.
Fair or unfair, if you have reached the point of being called a child molester in a legal context, you need knowledgeable counsel and representation.
