Molestation

The most general definition of molestation is the persecution or harassment of someone. Most commonly, it refers to the act of making unwanted and indecent advances to or on someone else, especially for sexual gratification.

The most serious and increasingly common molestation crime is child molestation. Any type of sexual advance and/or contact with a child (defined as anyone under a cutoff age that is 14 in most states) is considered child molestation.

Molestation Defense Considerations

Child molestation is among the most serious and increasingly common of criminal charges. The mere accusation of child molestation is carries extreme stigma and requires the most skilled and aggressive possible defense.

In many states, certain individuals and caregivers (such as public school teachers) are required by law to report suspected child abuse. Even a seemingly meaningless and casual comment by a child can result in serious criminal charges, even if the child and family all deny it.

Child abuse cases can be complex due to the use of the testimony of children. Prosecutors can often induce the testimony of a child in a manner that benefits their case. The social stigma associated with harming children can lower the threshold of proof in the minds of jurors.

Prosecutors are under extreme political pressure to win convictions on these charges. It is critical that your defense team make this task as difficult as possible for the prosecution and that your defense counsel be completely insulated from local politics.

Careful and skilled pre-trial research can often result in the dropping of these charges before trial. If a trial is necessary, there are specific defense strategies that we use in the defense of charges involving sex crimes against children.

United Defense Group specializes in sex crimes and has generated some its most impressive results in child molestation cases. If you or someone you know is facing potential molestation charges, it is critical that you obtain experienced legal counsel as early as possible. There are generally no acceptable plea bargains in child molestation cases, so these charges must be fought as aggressively as possible.
