It is astoundingly easy to accuse a person of criminal sexual misconduct. An investigation may be triggered by an aimed report by practically anyone, or by a passing comment by a child. While many accusations are true, unfortunately there are numerous examples of innocent persons who suddenly found themselves fighting for their lives after being accused of a sex crime. In many cases a single testimony could be sufficient to destroy a person’s life.
Even if a defendant prevails against the charges, he often faces stigmatic and long-lasting effects of the accusation, such as destroyed careers, broken relationships, and forever tainted reputations. Often, however, it is impossible to prevail and the defendant faces conviction because plea arrangements are unavailable for many sex crimes.
Besides a long prison term, a convicted defendant faces a lifetime registration as a sex offender and all the stigmatic experience associated with this.
What makes defending a sex crime defense a complicated task is that that many charges are based on unreliable and impulsive testimonies. All that is required to send a defendant to prison is jurors’ consent that the defendant is guilty. Prosecutors skillfully play on public animosity towards sex offenders and natural human emotions, fears, and concern. A mere fact of accusation plants a subconscious assumption of the defendant’s guilt in jurors’ minds. It is that assumption, planted before the trial begins, which the defendant needs to overcome.
