Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky
if a child says they were touched sexually how do i prove myself innocent
1 Answer from Attorneys
It is not possible to give you a clear legal answer to your inquiry without a more detailed evaluation of the facts of your case. A great deal depends upon the age of the child and whether or not there is any corroborating evidence; either forensic or testimonial.
You should understand that this is a very serious charge, and you should not discuss this matter with anyone--especially law enforcement investigators--until you have an opportunity to discuss the matter with an attorney.
You should not take any action, based upon my advice, without consulting an attorney and explaining all the facts to him. You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can get a referral to a criminal law specialist from the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, at
Additionally, you can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
