Child Molestation Defense Lawyer Arizona

Defending Clients against Child Molestation Charges in Scottsdale, Arizona

Individuals convicted of committing sex offenses in Arizona are sometimes punished more severely than criminals convicted of murder. Unfortunately, many individuals accused of sex crimes, are innocent. Some people use accusations of child abuse or child molestation as a way to seek retribution following a nasty divorce or a failed child custody battle. If a teenage child is making the accusation of molestation, these statements may be made with intent to manipulate a parent’s new relationship.

Do not speak with anyone if you fear you are facing child molestation accusations. Law enforcement officers will attempt to draw out a confession from you during a confrontation call. This call is typically made by an accuser, but is being recorded by the police without your knowledge to be used against you.

You Deserve a Strong Criminal Defense

When a child is interviewed regarding molestation charges, there are rules surrounding how police pose the questions to the child. We often seek to have a statement validity assessment performed by an expert. This expert can help determine if the police interviews were done appropriately. We can also investigate the extent of prior knowledge the child had on the subject matter from prior sexual encounters.

If you are convicted of any type of sex offense, your name will be entered on the sex offender registration list. This stigma will continue to follow you throughout your life, making moving and job hunting extremely difficult. Protect your rights against this happening to you.
