Telling Your Side of the Story — When it’s a Very Bad Idea
Many sex crime cases involve he-said, she-said evidence. While you may be tempted to explain your side of the allegations, it's important not to say anything to anyone without sage, legal advice.
You may be contacted by agents of the state, like child protective services case workers, police officers, detectives and prosecutors, and advised that sex crime allegations have been made against you. They may ask you to meet with them so that you can tell them your side of the story. It is absolutely against your best interests to do so.
Keep in mind that any agent of the state is always an advocate for the alleged victim and is trying to gather evidence against you. Don’t be fooled into thinking that these experts are looking for anything other than evidence to support your being found guilty of the charges.
Anything you say to anyone, including well-meaning friends and relatives, can and will be used against you.
If you face sex crime charges, you need the experience, skill and effective representation of seasoned attorneys to represent you. You need a team like Christine & Mario Del Prado.
