Some Possible Defenses in Child Sex Crime Cases
Contact our office for a free consultation, and we will discuss the possible defenses to your case. There are several circumstances under which children have fabricated allegations of sexual abuse. They may include:
- The child is retaliating against a stepparent or authority figure whom the child generally views as excessively strict
- The child is retaliating against a particular form of discipline
- They have been put up to it by another parent with whom the accused is engaged in a child custody battle
- The child heard about a similar allegation on TV, social media, or at school,
- The allegation of abuse has been suggested to the child by a trusted authority figure as an explanation for emotional or psychological difficulties that the child is experiencing
- Sometimes kids just make stuff up
Sex Crimes with Adult Accusers
The problems that a “believe victims” culture creates for the criminal defense of sexual abuse allegations are not unique to cases involving child accusers. Law enforcement, courts, and jurors tend to presume guilt in cases where the accuser is an adult. These charges may include any of the following:
- Penal Code section 243.4 – Sexual battery
- Penal Code section 261 – Rape when the victim is at least 18 and is incapable of giving consent due to a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability
- Penal Code section 262 – Spousal rape by force
- Penal Code section 264.1 – Aiding a rape or acts of penetration with a foreign object
- Penal Code section 266h – Pimping and pandering with a minor when the defendant violates (b) of Penal Code Sections 266h or (b) of 266i
- Penal Code section 266a – Rape, Abduction, Carnal Abuse of Children, and Seduction
- Penal Code section 314 – indecent exposure
- Penal Code section 647(a) – Lewd Conduct in Public
- Penal Code section 647(b) – Prostitution
In addition to jail time and monetary fines, many sex crimes require your name to be added to the sex offender registration system.
