Fighting False Allegations Of Sexual Battery

If you are facing criminal charges for sexual battery, you may be disheartened to learn that false accusations are common in this type of case. However, there is a silver lining here. False accusations are actually pretty easy for a skilled sexual battery attorney to disprove. After all, false accusations are typically accompanied by insufficient evidence because the alleged victim either made the entire incident up or else invited the sexual contact and then lied about it later. Prosecutors know this and are often very open to the idea of dropping the charges when presented with a compelling argument from the criminal defense attorney.

Possible Defenses For Sexual Battery Charges

In addition to the strategy of showing that there is insufficient evidence to support a charge, a sexual battery attorney could also consider collecting their own evidence to support the following common defenses:

• The touch or contact was unintentional
• The alleged victim actually consented to the contact (or you reasonably believed they did)
• The contact was not motivated by any element of sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse

These arguments may be extremely nuanced, so naturally, it is important to make sure you are working with a sexual battery lawyer with ample experience in crafting compelling defense arguments for these types of cases.
