Are you being set up? DUH. You already said she lied, and she has tried before. You'd better take this seriously, as you risk prison time here. Feel free to contact me if you are serious about getting legal help. In the meantime, exercise your 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and say nothing to police or anyone else.

Before you go any further I would suggest hiring an attorney. That attorney can be there with you to answer all of your questions and concerns. The attorney can also protect you from police, investigators, etc.

I recommend not talking to anyone about anything, as those statements could be used against you later in court proceedings.

Contact an attorney as soon as possible so that attorney can assist you in the investigative process.

If you have further questions feel free to contact my office. Best of luck.

Re: Is This Really Happening?

I agree with Mr. Koken. I'm also struck that you don't deny the accusations. Instead you say that they are "impossible" because other people were "in the apartment no more than 10-15 feet away". You don't say that any of them were in the same room, though. It is very possible to molest a child and giver her drugs while other people are elsewhere in the same apartment. I'll bet you are well aware of this.

Mr. Koken is right that you need to stop talking about this (except to your lawyer). Making evasive non-denials is a good way to make yourself look guilty.
