Q: There is someone that hates because she can’t control me. She accused of being a pedafile. There has never been anything

Anything happen. The only I have ever done is give the child some gift or something for her birthday. Everything done in eye view. Never anything alone. She has spread rumors and accusations.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: I recommend you immediately consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney. You may also want to consider consulting with an experienced defamation attorney, if there is no basis in fact for any of the allegations against you. Sexual crimes involving children have strict punishments and can have life altering ramifications such as having to register as a sex offender. You should take these allegations seriously and get legal help as soon as possible. Good luck.
