3 Keys to Remember When Defending Yourself Against False Accusations of Sexual Misconduct

10.15.2020 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

If you’ve been falsely accused of sexual misconduct, there are few things in life that are worse. It’s stressful and people look at you differently, and there’s the entire legal process you need to go through to prove your name, even when you’ve done nothing wrong. We also live in an age where sexual misconduct is more broadcast and public than ever before, which comes with adding its own pressures.

That being said, when you’re representing your case in court and defending yourself, you need to make sure you’re presenting yourself in the right way. Saying the wrong thing or saying something in the wrong way can make you look guilty, or your words could be twisted, so you need to ensure you’re proceeding properly.

With this in mind, today we’re going to be sharing three key tips to remember when it comes to defending your case, ensuring you’re able to prove your innocence in the best, quickest, and most appropriate way.

Stay Silent Until Representation Arrives

Whether you’re being arrested, questioned by police,  arguing with the ‘victim’ in question, it’s important to make sure you remain silent until you’re able to speak with legal representation. You don’t want to say anything out of anger or from an emotional state of mind that could harm your credibility.

When law enforcement officers say anything you say can and will be used against you in court, they’re not kidding. All you need to do is ask for a lawyer and wait until that time arrives. This way, you can prepare what you’re going to say and have a clear understanding of how you’re going to proceed.

Collect Evidence (As Much as Possible)

When it comes to being in court, it’s important to remember that evidence is going to be the key to prove your innocence, so you need to be collecting as much of it as possible. This means looking at your case from all angles, and not leaving any evidence behind.

Some of the things you’ll need to look at are call logs and text message threads, as well as social media messages. This is the only way you’ll be able to prove your innocence. The more evidence you have, the easier it will be to prove. You’ll need the best sex crime lawyers in town to help you acquire evidence as well as describing what evidence you need to look for.

Don’t Contact Your Accuser

If the person accusing you is someone you know, it can be tempting to try and reach out to them to ask what the hell is going on, but this is highly unrecommended. Having any kind of contact in this way can harm your chances of innocence and can make things dramatically worse, so just don’t do it.

Even if the accuser is asking to meet or talk with you, don’t do it. They could be trying to trap you further or get you to say something that could harm your case, so don’t. Just stay away and handle the matter in a legal environment.

Summary

Being accused of something you didn’t do is a horrible situation to be in, but it’s not impossible to get out and prove you didn’t do anything wrong. You just need to be smart and keep yourself grounded and focused on what you’re trying to do. If you can do this, then proving your innocence will be a walk in the park.
