Legal Representation As Soon As Possible
A child molestation defense should ideally be initiated before charges are brought — as soon as possible, in fact. When a social services agency, police department or other law enforcement agency contacts an individual regarding an allegation of child molestation, that agency has already received enough potential evidence to meet their standard criteria for conducting an investigation, and the "person of interest" should obtain his or her own legal representation immediately.
There are a number of possible child molestation defenses, each depending on the unique circumstances of an individual's case:
- False accusations of child molestation during a contentious divorce or custody proceeding — This "SAID syndrome" (sexual allegations in divorce) is common enough that it sparked laws in many states providing penalties (such as fines and jail time) for accusers who fabricate
- False accusations of child molestation by those who would seek to extort a financial settlement — whether from a celebrity or a non-celebrity; molestation charges alone can easily ruin an individual's career, relationships, and more
- False accusations of a child's molestation by an adult who simply seeks to punish an innocent acquaintance
- Children have been coached or pressured to report molestation when none occurred; this coaching/pressure has been proven to have been administered in a large number of cases by social service and healthcare professionals, law enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys and others
- Misinterpretation by a child or adult regarding innocent touch — perhaps based on hyper-awareness of molestation
