You may lose custody of your child or children if you are accused of child molestation. Once Children's Protective Services (CPS) becomes involved, everything is at stake. In cases involving child sexual abuse, law enforcement and CPS agents will do whatever they can to safeguard the child or children involved and may therefore make an arrest, conduct an investigation and even file criminal charges against a parent or guardian who did not actually do anything wrong.
Sexual Allegations of Child Abuse in Michigan
The nature of child sexual abuse allegations and the public outcry against child abuse as a whole means that an individual accused of child molestation faces a ruined reputation, criminal charges and severe penalties if convicted of this offense. Imprisonment, fines, probation and sex offender registration are a few of the penalties that can be imposed.
However, with an experienced and aggressive Michigan child sexual abuse defense attorney at your side, you have the chance to avoid a conviction for false child molestation allegations.
