False Accusations of Child Sexual Abuse

In the heat of a divorce or child custody battle, false accusations of sexual abuse or molestation sometimes occur and things can get complicated. As in any battle, attacks on various fronts are part of the effort to win the war and in some divorce cases, this is no different. A false accusation of sexual molestation is a strategic attack with a definitive motive behind it, that motive being to destroy the reputation of the accused.

When this card is played, for example, by a wife who wants to cause as much trouble as possible for the husband out of spite or revenge, it is best to get help from a legal professional, someone well versed in criminal defense law. A father can lose custody rights with this type of accusation and when falsely accused, he must take action to protect himself. Sex crime charges are very serious and can have disastrous consequences that last a life time if convicted. Being charged with child molestation can destroy one's reputation and affect your job, family and relationships. You can also be labeled as a sex offender and this can even affect your ability to purchase a home, get housing or obtain loans.
