We can meet with you free of charge, in a strictly confidential consultation about your situation.

Types of Molestation Defense

Often, in molestation cases, the prosecution's only real evidence is that the child said it happened. It is strange that while everyone knows how often children make up stories, people always seem to believe them without question when they make an accusation of sexual abuse.

In molestation defense, our lawyers regularly hire private investigators to find out the truth behind the stories. We also hire psychologists and other experts who can testify as to why a child would lie about such a matter. Even if the child genuinely believes it happened, it could be a case of "repressed memory disorder," in which the memory was created in the child's mind.

The bottom line is that there are many possible explanations for a molestation accusation. Perhaps another adult is telling the child to lie. Or perhaps another adult is committing the sexual assault, but the child wants to protect him by accusing someone else.
