Defending False Allegations of Sexual Abuse

Representation for Clients Throughout Kansas

Many allegations of sex crimes are false. Alleged victims make up stories to protect their own reputations or to seek revenge against someone they perceive has "wronged" them in the past. Innocent people end up facing false allegations of sexual abuse or criminal sexual conduct that could result in years in prison and a lifetime as a registered sex offender.

Fighting false allegations of sexual abuse, rape or child molestation is not easy. It takes the experience and skill of a zealous criminal defense lawyer.

At The Swain Law Office, we zealously defend our Kansas clients against false allegations of sexual abuse and illegal sexual conduct. Attorney Sarah G. Swain recognizes the importance of going on the offensive. Prosecutors and law enforcement are aggressive in the way they pursue sex charges. She has to be equally aggressive in the way she defends against them.

Early Intervention Is Critical to the Outcome of Your Case

As soon as you learn you are under investigation for a sex crime, it is crucial to secure the assistance of an attorney. Once you have a lawyer on your side, law enforcement cannot talk to you anymore. They must stop all attempts to coerce you into saying something damaging. If formal charges have not yet been filed, your attorney may be able to prevent this from taking place.

Taking Proactive Measures for Clients Facing False Allegations of Sexual Abuse

There are several steps we can take if you have been falsely accused of a sex crime. We often begin by hiring a private investigator to look into the situation. He or she will gather information and evidence and talk to any potential witnesses.

Another possible step toward your defense could be obtaining your own polygraph test. We can refer you to reputable sources whose results are looked at with credibility. Lying is not the only reason someone fails a polygraph. Stress can also be a factor. Depending on the results of the test, we can decide whether to release the results or not.
