Is the Witness Telling the Truth?
Tucson Sex Crimes Lawyers
It is important early on to get an investigator to look at the facts in a case alleging child molestation, statutory rape or other serious sex crimes against a child. The people investigating these cases often make up their minds before they do the investigating — if the child says it happened, the prosecutors, CPS workers, and investigators for the state are all working under the presumption that the allegations are true.
For the past 30 years, lawyer Rick Lougee at The Law Office of Richard L. Lougee, has defended individuals charged with sex crimes, such as sexual assault and sex abuse, for more than 30 years in Arizona and New Mexico.

Tucson Rape Defense Attorneys
Unfortunately, children or young adults have been known to make false allegations about sex crimes like date rape, and it often falls upon the defense attorney and his team to show that's what happened. An example is when a child says he or she told the details of alleged abuse to his or her friend, but no one bothered to talk to the friend.
In other situations, a child could say something to an interviewer that implies sexual abuse or solicitation and this is made into something far worse than what was intended by the child.
Often, a defense investigator is the first person to examine the facts in a sex crimes case critically. He or she may be the only person in a position to make a meaningful fact-finding effort. Our full-time defense investigator, Richard Muha will ask the questions no one else wants to ask and get to the bottom of what really happened.
