For someone who has been accused of a sex crime, one natural response is to become defensive. Far too often, those accused assume that if they simply explain to the investigator what happened, they will be able to avoid having the case pursued. Although this response is understandable, it is absolutely the wrong choice. If you are under investigation for any sex crime, do not agree to speak with the police or child protective services without a lawyer present. Nothing good can come of this. By the time you become aware of the investigation, the case will almost certainly ...
