Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Probable Cause for Child Enticement.

Probable cause alone is never enough for a conviction--the judge or jury must instead be convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that the accused committed any crime prior to convicting him. Such proof, however, can come in many different forms including from a guilty or no contest plea. Any potential sexual contact with children is gravely serious and normally leads to many years in prison in WI. If you are concerned with such charges, you should immediately consult an experienced felony attorney. Only attorneys have the right to keep such a consultation secret--all other professionals, from doctors to social workers to priests, are obligated by law to immediately inform authorities as soon as they learn about any sexual misconduct which potentially involves children. Such notification generally leads to a criminal investigation.
