Sexual Conduct with a Minor

False Allegations of Sexual Conduct with a Minor
In many of the past cases we handled involving sexual conduct with a minor, the charges against our clients were embellished or fabricated.
- Sometimes children interpret actions as "wrong" after they hear a talk at school about bad touch.
- Sometimes children embellish or make up incidents in order to get attention from the adults in their lives.
- Many allegations of sexual conduct with a minor or child molestation come out of a divorce or child custody case. One parent accuses the other parent or urges the child to make an accusation in order to gain an advantage in family court.
- Finally, sometimes therapists, teachers, doctors or other child workers report behavior that they think is improper or questionable because they are mandatory reporters. Sometimes they misinterpret the situation or wrongly judge an action as improper.
A Criminal Charge is Not the Same as Guilt
We know that being charged with a crime is a far cry from being guilty of a crime. We have handled many such cases. We understand how these cases occur and how they unravel. We know how to work with child witnesses and with child psychology expert witnesses.
If it is your own child who has made false charges, we understand that you have concerns for both yourself and for the emotional security of your child. We compassionately work for you and for your family. No one benefits when a parent goes to jail. We want to help you find a way to address the issues that have caused turmoil in your family without ruining your life with a sex offender conviction.
