Child Molestation Defense Overview

A child molestation charge can be devastating. Not only are the immediate ramifications severe, the long-term consequences of being charged as a child sex offender will haunt you for the rest of your life.

If you have been falsely accused of child molestation or another sex crime with a child, you need to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer like Patrick J. Artur. As a former sex crimes district attorney, he understands the challenges you are up against and will use that experience to craft a solid legal defense customized to your case.

Proven Experience to Help You Defend Your Freedom

It is vital to understand how to protect your freedom when you are up against a child molestation accusation, even if the charge hasn't been filed yet. Often, these types of false accusations involving inappropriate activity with a child stem from other situations, like a divorce, a domestic dispute or even an argument with the child.

Being convicted of child molestation causes severe emotional distress for you and for your loved ones. It often causes irreversible damage to your reputation as well as harsh fines, imprisonment and inclusion on a sex offender registry.

As soon as you are aware that anyone may allege or has alleged a child molestation or other sex crime, or you are contacted by the police or Child Protective Services, you need to contact a lawyer. We urge you to not make a statement or give them information that could be used against you. Contacting an attorney immediately may help you minimize or avoid the severe consequences of a child molestation charge or conviction.
