Re: molesting

You should immediately retain an attorney tor represent your son in this matter. He faces a potential prison sentence and having to register as a sex offender. He should not discuss this matter with anyone, except his attorney and priest, including parents and siblings. If your son is arrested he should only give his name and request to have an attorney present if there will be any questioning. If your son feels the need to discuss the matter he should do so with his priest or attorney. No matter what the police say they are looking for a way to convict him as a molester.
