Defending Child Rape Cases in Massachusetts presents perhaps the most difficult for a Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer. Even though our laws state that a person is presumed innocent the mere allegation of the sexual abuse of a child creates alarm among perspective jurors. It is natural for anyone to ask the question “why would a child make something like that up?” Over the course or my career I have encountered many reasons. At times the allegations stem for parental pressure during custody battles. Sometimes, after medical attention discloses the abuse innocent people are accused, usually by a parent, to deflect attention from themselves, a spouse or partner who is in fact responsible for the crime. A good lawyer will investigate these and countless other possibilities when defending a wrongly accused client. In cases like this, the investigation can make the difference between a conviction and acquittal.
