What would have been Tonya Crafts fate if she had not been represented by an aggressive criminal defense attorney? She would have likely been convicted on charges of child molestation, sexual battery, and aggravated child molestation. She would have been possibly sentenced to life in prison. Instead, her molestation lawyer has undoubtedly proven her innocent and Crafts has been acquitted of all twenty-two counts against her. The trial has been a life-changing ordeal, and the task before Crafts now is to rebuild her life and her family. As a result of the child molestation and sexual assault allegations, Craft lost her job, custody of her daughters, and had to move to a different part of the state. At least due to the work of her criminal lawyer, she will not be wrongfully charged as a serial child molester and spend the rest of her life behind bars.
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.
