Few accusations are as devastating and life-altering as being accused of child molestation. The emotional toll, the damage to your reputation, and the potential for life-long consequences make these cases among the most serious in criminal defense. If you’ve been accused, you need an experienced legal team to fight for your rights and protect your future. At Liberty Bell Law Group, we understand how overwhelming this can be—and we’re here to help.
What Should You Do If You’re Accused of Child Molestation?
The first and most critical step is to remain silent and avoid speaking to investigators without legal representation. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Even if you believe you can explain your side of the story, this is not the time to go it alone. Law enforcement and prosecutors often misinterpret statements, and your words can be twisted into evidence.
Instead, contact Liberty Bell Law Group immediately for legal guidance. Our attorneys will ensure your rights are protected and begin building a strong defense from day one. Call us now at 877-545-3517.
Common Strategies in Child Molestation Defense
At Liberty Bell Law Group, we use proven defense strategies tailored to the specifics of your case. Here are a few examples:
- Challenging False Allegations: In many cases, accusations of child molestation are based on misunderstandings, miscommunication, or false claims. These often arise during contentious divorces, custody battles, or out of revenge. We gather evidence to discredit false allegations and uncover the truth.
- Questioning Witness Credibility: The testimony of the child or other witnesses can be unreliable, especially if influenced by suggestive questioning or external pressure. Our attorneys work with forensic psychologists to challenge inconsistent or coached testimony.
- Analyzing Evidence for Errors: Improper collection of evidence, such as illegal search and seizure, can violate your rights. We carefully review police procedures to identify and challenge these errors.
- Examining Motives: We investigate the accuser’s motives to uncover possible ulterior motives, such as financial gain or personal vendettas.
Potential Consequences of a Conviction
A conviction for child molestation carries some of the most severe penalties under California law, including:
- Decades in state prison
- Mandatory registration as a sex offender for life
- Loss of custody or visitation rights
- Permanent damage to your reputation and relationships
With stakes this high, it’s critical to act quickly and secure a skilled defense team to fight these charges.

FAQs About Child Molestation Defense
Q: Can I be charged based on accusations alone?

Q: Should I talk to the police if I’m innocent?
A: No. Even innocent statements can be misinterpreted or used against you. Always consult with a lawyer before speaking to law enforcement.
Q: What are my chances of avoiding conviction?
A: Every case is different, but with an experienced defense attorney, your chances of a favorable outcome increase significantly. Our team has successfully reduced charges, won acquittals, and achieved dismissals in cases just like yours.
