Portsmouth Falsely Accused of Child Molestation Attorney

Rockingham County Allegations of Sexual Abuse Defense Attorney New Hampshire

Child molestation cases understandably get media coverage and even nationwide attention. The downside of the high-profile nature of these cases is zealous prosecution and the frequency of children manipulated and coerced to accuse.

Motives

Why would a child falsely accuse someone of sexual abuse? Generally, because they are coached to do so by a malicious third person. In SAID syndrome (sexual allegations in divorce) children are brainwashed by a vengeful ex-spouse to believe, and claim, that abuse occurred.

Prosecutors are always looking to make a name for themselves, or at least earn promotions and advancement. When these cases are covered in the media, they are under pressure to convict someone.

Child care and health care professionals are legally required to report credible allegations. Federal and state laws err on the side of bringing charges. Good faith reporters have immunity from any consequences.

Children are very sympathetic figures in court. (Most adults are comparatively less attractive.) Juries may believe them even when there is no physical evidence whatsoever.

Damage
