Accused of Sexual Assault of a Child in Florida?
Few criminal allegations are more serious and troubling than being accused of a sex crime involving a child. When the allegation is that rape — meaning any type of sexual penetration — of a child 12 years or younger occurred, the charge may be child sexual battery, and penalties can run to life in prison, depending on a range of factors.
At The Wilbur Smith Law Firm, you can work with Fort Myers sexual abuse defense attorneys who have exposed the truth and exonerated numerous people wrongfully accused of sex offenses. We are relentless investigators who will go the distance to clear your name — or work to negotiate an outcome that gets you counseling and helps preserve your future.
Recognition That Sex Crime Allegations Are Often False or Misguided
There may be no other area of the law where so many people are falsely accused and arrested based on one person's claim or suspicion. Young children can be readily influenced, and today most understand that a claim of sexual contact or violence wields tremendous power over a parent or any other adult. Often, an unverified allegation by a child can lead to the accused person facing life in prison.
