CALL OUR LOS ANGELES CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ATTORNEY IF YOU HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF:

Child Molestation or Sexual Abuse

A California sexual abuse attorney knows that a child molestation charge is emotionally devastating against a person. The mere accusation of this crime can seriously damage your reputation, career and relationships.

According to some estimates, 92% of employers perform background checks on potential hires. This can have negative implications on the heritability of those convicted of sexual abuse. Although there are federal laws that are meant to prevent discrimination on hiring ex-convicts, many employers will reject convicted sex offenders and those with criminal backgrounds.

Child Molestation, also known as  Sexual Abuse or  Sexual Assault on a Child , generally involves any type of sexual contact with a child under the age of 14 (this age varies from state to state). Lawyers know that an adult can also be accused of sexual assault on a minor in all states, which is usually defined as sex with a person under the age of 18. Both child molestation and sexual assault on a child or minor can also be synonymous to Statutory Rape , which is generally defined as sexual intercourse with minors or children. Here is a state by state comparison of the age of consent, Statutory Rape offenses.

If convicted, you can face a lifetime sex offender registration and severe fines and penalties. A child molestation, sexual abuse, indecent liberties, sexual assault, or statutory rape conviction can plague you for the rest of your life, and you can be found guilty even when the only evidence is the victim’s word.

Often, the interpretation of evidence by defense attorneys is crucial. For instance, if a false allegation is discovered by investigating authorities or the jury, it can significantly impact the outcome of the trial. This is especially true if the defendant is represented by a talented Los Angeles sexual abuse attorney.

Child molestation trials are especially difficult because there is a strong inclination among judges, juries and peers to believe children and minors. However, children are highly impressionable and can be easily manipulated by prosecutors and family members. Children have been known to make outlandish statements, and it can be difficult to differentiate induced testimony from reality when not represented by top attorneys .

Another challenge has to do with the ability of getting reliable testimonies from children with neurological or physical disabilities. Statistics show that children with disabilities are 3.6 times more likely to be physically assaulted and 2.9 times more likely to be sexually assaulted compared to children without disabilities. An experienced California sexual abuse attorney is prepared to deal with challenges like these.

To make matters worse, you can be convicted of child molestation without the child’s testimony in some cases. A casual comment made by a child or minor in school can lead to the school officials being legally required to report you as a potential child molester. Early and aggressive representation by a sex offender attorney with proven track record in child molestation defense can turn the tide in your direction and sometimes avoid a very painful and expensive trial.

In a sensitive case like this, it is vital to connect with a Los Angeles sexual abuse attorney in your area for hands-on representation in addition to experienced professionals that can help families cope with the aftermath of a sexual abuse accusation.

Child Molestation Attorney at Your Defense!

According to California child molestation laws, any attempt to engage in or conduct sexual acts with a child under 18 years of age is a crime. Depending on the age of the minor involved and the extent of the sexual contact, you may potentially face misdemeanor charges or even felony charges that can lead to life imprisonment.

Child molestation , sexual assault on child, or statutory rape cases are generally “he said, she said” trials in which the jury must decide on believing the word of the victim or the defendant. When the best lawyers  defend child molestation , there is often extensive use of psychologists, character witnesses and very extensive private investigation.

Top lawyers know that there are no acceptable plea agreements for child molestation, sexual assault, or statutory rape . These cases must be fought using a legal defense team of lawyers with specific experience and expertise in this criminal area.

Although child molestation charges can be difficult to counter, there are some legal defenses that the accused may use. This can include the fact that the alleged victim is not a minor, and/or any contact was not sexual in nature, and/or the accuser made a false accusation.

Child molestation defense requires attorneys with very specific techniques, expertise, and experience as it is different from other cases. An effective defense team of lawyers often employs psychologists, computer forensic examiners, and private investigators with the expertise to further your case in the most effective manner.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub.

    

I hired Gina and her team for my son who was facing 10 years for something they said he did when he was 17 years old. Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub. She did not stop. She fought hard and was able to defend the charges. We are so grateful to her and her team. They gave us our son. He recovered his life!

– L. W.
Best defense lawyers in the country.

    

I hired this law firm in 2014 for my son who was facing 16 years in prison for a felony robbery. Lina Helou answered all our questions. I was extremely distraught regarding what my son was facing but Lina comforted me and told me that it would be okay. And thank goodness LibertyBell saved my son from going to jail and they were able to obtain only 3 years of probation. I could not have hired a better law firm for my son and if you want the best defense call LibertyBell Law Group. Thank God for this great group of lawyers.

– V. J.
A great team of lawyers.

    

I do not have enough words to describe how incredible the experience with this firm was. They work very hard to make sure you have winning results. I could not have asked for better service from the moment I called, until my case was over. I was glad I made the right choice. Thank you again LibertyBell Law Group!

She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence.

    

My father had found this group through his company and coworkers. I was assigned Gina Tennen and I cannot explain in just a review on how gratefull I am to be working with her. My case was an accusation of unlawful sex. This had looked extremely bad on my part since I was in a fraternity and she was in a sorority. During these times with Greek life, there are too many bad stigmas surrounding these organizations. Gina had believed in me and knew that I was innocent and that these accusations just were not true. She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence. I totally recommend this law group because they are willing to put in the work to help your situation.

– C. D.
Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding.

    

When I first heard I was under a criminal investigation, I initially thought I would try and resolve this in the best way possible, without legal representation, as we were all interested in a "just" outcome. I quickly discovered that was not the case and contacted Gina at LibertyBell. She clearly described the expectations and the choices available to me. She was always available to me, and when I called, if she couldn't talk with me at that time, she would quickly get back to me. Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding. Her fee's were stipulated up front, as well as what those fees covered and what they did not.

– S. B.
Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one.

    

Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one putting pressure on the sherrif's office to get things handled. With Child molestation accusatinos being thrown around Gina and Attorney Castro were great at keeping the pressure on and had no charges filled. The DCFS indications were appealed and we won with flying colors. Great service, great work, and will use again for all legal matters.

Will Recommend, Total Experience, Awesome Team

    

Being involved in legal matters can be scary. When researching who to put my trust in, I came across Liberty and I am glad that I did. From the first time that I met with Gina and her team she made me feel comfortable and listened to all that I had to say. She assured me that her team would be on it and that they would do everything that they could! A little while in, Alan took over my case. When meeting with him you can tell that this is his passion and I immediately knew he was going to do everything in his power to make the outcome right! He was relentless and worked day and night working on the case. He kept in constant communication with me and truly cared not only about me but about my family as well. I am forever grateful for the support that this whole team has given me and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for truly the best lawyers!
