The power of Congress to commit “sexually dangerous” inmates was compared by Supreme Court Justice Nominee Elena Kagan to the power of Congress to indefinitely hold federal inmates whose sentences have expired but that have highly contagious or deadly diseases. Do certain inmates deserve to be incarcerated at the discretion of the Federal Government in order to protect the general public from disease or sexual attack?  These acts make inmates who are convicted of sex crimes or who are extremely ill the pariahs of society and borders on inhumane incarceration. 

The Supreme Court ruling in favor of the John Walsh act is extremely terrifying and harsh.  If accused of a sex crime what should you do?  Run away to a foreign country; resign yourself to a life in prison? NO! You should contact a criminal defense attorney immediately as soon as sex crime allegations are made or a police investigation begins against you.  The best time for a criminal lawyer to become involved is during the pre-file stage, before formal charges of rape, molestation, or sexual assault are pressed and prosecution proceeds in a court of law.  A molestation attorney during the pre-file can act as a buffer between you and the police investigators and fight to dismiss any child pornography or sexual assault accusation against you before they turn into formal criminal charges.  If confronted with the quotidian confinement of a federal prison for the rest of your life, wouldn’t you want the best criminal defense lawyer to represent you and fight for any allegations or sex crimes charges to be dismissed as quickly as possible?  The government, law enforcement, and the general public do not deal lightly with people convicted of sex crimes.  A criminal defense lawyer is your only ticket to insure that your right to liberty will not be taken away.

Craft, a kindergarten teacher in Georgia, was accused of sex crimes against two of her students and her own daughter.  Allegation spun out of control and ended in a two year trial that concluded this week.  Craft’s criminal defense attorney showed the jury that the child molestation charges against Craft were absolutely false and based on faulty evidence.  The criminal lawyer uncovered the conflicting details of the alleged victims’ testimony and showed that the school parents had manipulated their children to falsely accuse Craft.  Craft’s criminal defense attorney also argued that there was no proof that the three girls had been sexually abused, further negating the sex crimes charges against her. 

Like many sex crime allegations, the child molestation and sexual assault charges against Craft were not true.  If it hadn’t been for a skilled sex crimes lawyer, this mother would have permanently lost her children and would have possibly been convicted of a crime she did not commit.  Imagine being a parent falsely accused of harming your own child.  It would be a devastating experience that would make you lose all faith in the legal system.  Thank goodness Craft’s criminal defense attorney was able to find justice.

Mr. Bain is currently ecstatic after finding out that he will be released from jail after spending thirty five years in prison. His main concern after being released is taking care of his handicapped mother. It is very disturbing that innocent people like James Bain, are charged and sentenced to a lifetime in prison where their life is wasted away. Thanks to states like Florida, who has passed a statute that allows the reopening of cases for DNA testing, people like Mr. Bain can finally get their life back. Criminal attorneys should look into such new statutes and up to date on all laws.
           

James Bain’s case is an example of why it is vital to obtain a criminal defense attorney when being accused of a sex crime. There are many methods of defending a person from sex crime charges, one method being DNA testing. The use of technology in the courtrooms has grown with the development of new scientific techniques that aid the precision of the criminal defense. A sex crime attorney can seek this new practice, as well investigate the history of the alleged victim which will strengthen one’s case and prevent further consequences. Without a criminal lawyer, you can be at risk of not understanding your options for defense and as a result face a fate similar to that of Mr. Bain’s.

What images are conjured up in your mind when you read those words? You think of a creep, the lowest of the low. What kind of person would violate a child in such a devastating way? If someone you know is accused of child molestation and whether he or she is ever convicted of the crime or not, you will never look at them the same way again. The accusation itself carries a strong stigma. It changes everything… and people know this. Because of the seriousness of a molestation accusation, it is crucial to hire a molestation lawyer or criminal defense attorney to represent you from the start.

From our experience in criminal defense, only about 1 out of 5 accusations of child molestation are true. I would say roughly 9 out of 10 times, I’m speaking with a potential client about a molestation case like this and I hear, “the ex-husband, the ex-wife, the new boyfriend,” etc. Most of the time these molestation accusations just happen to pop up in the midst of custody battles. It’s a way to smear someone else’s name in order to gain something for yourself – in most cases, custody of a child. These cases also turn in to witch hunts. The very thought of child molestation inspires rage and a thirst for retribution in the heart of a detective. He wants to see someone go down for it. Charges as serious as this require adequate evidence, but all too often the District Attorney will file molestation charges based on the accusation itself. They take no risks with this one. Our criminal attorneys or molestation attorneys are aware of this and do everything possible to provide sound legal representation under the circumstances.

Even if you are charged with molestation and later vindicated, your life will never be the same. You will always be that guy who was charged with child molestation. The molestation lawyers that I have worked with are passionate about ensuring that a real investigation is done before these cases go too far. Our criminal attorneys believe that sufficient evidence is needed BEFORE charges are placed, not after. Our criminal defense attorneys have succeeded in protecting numerous individuals from being falsely charged with something they simply didn’t do. But, if these individuals had been on their own – they most likely would have been forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a child molestation attorney to defend them in court.

I see this happen often in domestic violence cases as well. A mother sees a divorce on the horizon and files a false police report about her husband having beaten her, just in case the marriage doesn’t work out and the kids are up for grabs. If you are on the receiving end of a serious domestic violence accusation or molestation accusation, then you need to get on the offense. The worst thing you can do is sit around to wait to see what happens. Our aim is to prevent criminal investigations from snowballing against you. If you don’t act it’s like a one-sided tug of war. Don’t be another victim of someone else’s greed.

Note: Child molestation and domestic violence are serious offenses. We are not implying that these crimes never happen; our concern is that those who are falsely accused deserve proper defense from stigma and over-zealous investigators. Those who are guilty of such offenses need to be brought to justice, but they too have the constitutional right to proper criminal defense in order to ensure their punishment fits the crime.
