How We Build a Defense Against Child Sex Crime Allegations

Child sex abuse allegations often rest heavily on the accuser’s account, with little or no corroborating physical evidence, which makes evaluating the credibility and consistency of that account central to the defense. We examine the full record: how the allegation originated, who was interviewed and when, whether statements changed over time, and what physical or forensic evidence does or doesn’t exist.

From that foundation, we develop a case-specific action plan. Depending on the facts, defenses we evaluate include misidentification and fabrication. We also examine whether procedural violations or evidentiary issues affect the strength of the prosecution’s case. No two cases are identical, and we don’t treat them as if they are.
