The Sources & Troubles of False Allegations

What would cause a person to falsely accuse someone of child sex abuse? In rare circumstances, a child has mistaken the identity of a real offender, or misunderstood that physical contact did not constitute and was not meant to be sexual. The more common cause of false accusations arise from a spiteful spouse who wants to find a way to secure child custody and child support during a contested and heated divorce. They know that an accusation for a sex crime against a minor is sure to create a world of trouble and embarrassment that will force the divorce court to think twice about who gets privileges over their children.

As the evidence for a false accusation cannot and does not exist, cases boil down to the defendant’s word against their accuser. Without the assistance of a skilled criminal defense lawyer who can see through the lies of the opposition, a conviction could be in their future. At Brad Bailey Law, we are familiar with the strategies of the prosecution and discovering evidence of innocence where other attorneys might never think to look.

We can show that your accusations of sex crimes are false by using:

• Medical records of alleged victim
• Cross-examinations of any witnesses brought to testimony
• Psychological evaluations of accuser
• Extensive review of defendant’s phone and email records, showing no talk of misconduct

Understanding Your Legal Rights: What to Do When Facing False Allegations

Being accused of a crime you did not commit can be a daunting experience. It's crucial to know your legal rights and the steps you can take to protect yourself. At Brad Bailey Law, we emphasize the importance of remaining calm and informed in such situations. Here are some key actions you should consider:

• Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all interactions related to the allegation, including dates, times, and witnesses.
• Seek Legal Counsel: Engaging an experienced attorney can provide you with the guidance needed to navigate the complexities of the legal system.
• Avoid Self-Incrimination: Be cautious about what you say; anything you disclose can be used against you. Always consult with your lawyer before making statements.
• Gather Evidence: Collect any evidence that supports your innocence, such as alibis, witness statements, or surveillance footage.
• Stay Professional: Maintain a respectful demeanor when discussing the situation, especially on social media, to avoid escalating the matter further.

At Brad Bailey Law, we understand the emotional and financial toll that false allegations can take on individuals and their families. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the support and representation you need to reclaim your reputation and pursue justice.

How False Accusations Destroy Lives

If someone is convicted based on false allegations of child sex abuse, the penalties will be just as harsh as if they had actually committed the crime. After all, the judge and jury believe that it did happen. From thousands of dollars in fines to years spent in state prison, a person’s livelihood is ruined. Mandatory and permanent registration on sex offender lists will continue to deface them for the rest of their lives.

Accusations are enough to be harmful, though. If no conviction is granted, the allegation alone will often put the defendant on a sex offender watch list. When people look into their past for job applications, rental agreements, and so on, they will see a mark noting that they have been put on a watch list, often stripping them of improving their sought opportunities.
