Child Molestation — Defense of False Allegations

Key Details

Case Description

Our client was accused of molesting two young boys at his residence. Law enforcement claimed that the alleged victims, ages 9 and 10, were previously acquainted with our client and that investigators obtained warrants following disclosure of the incidents to a family member. Our client was arrested and held without bond pending further proceedings.

Legal Strategy

We have taken a strong public stance that these allegations are false. Our statement to the media emphasized that this "is a case of children telling stories and not grasping the true meaning of what they (are) saying or understanding the real impact of how those stories can affect other people's lives". We are conducting our own investigation and preparing to challenge the credibility of the allegations and the investigative methods used.

Challenges

Child molestation allegations are among the most serious charges in criminal law, carrying severe penalties and mandatory sex offender registration. The case involves testimony from young alleged victims, which can be emotionally compelling to juries. We must overcome these challenges while vigorously defending our client's innocence.
