This is a difficult question, but one that must be answered to prove our client has been falsely accused. False allegations of child molestation are more common than most believe. Over the years, we have represented many clients who have been falsely accused and we’ve been able to identify many common characteristics that have attributed to the false allegations. At our firm, we refer to these as “the ingredients of a false allegation.” Usually children are not intentionally lying, although it does occur. The more common scenario is that the child has been exposed to highly suggestive and improper influences that create an atmosphere where a false allegation becomes possible.
