What kind of proof do you need to bring charges for child molestation?
921427
No,because, it is his or her against the abuser. You need more proof as such the abuser's past and his pattern of behavior such as he or she has molested children. Sometimes, the e-mail contact between them can proof in the court of law, at the same time you do have to listen to children, they seldom lie or dishonest. An expert can evaluate children as well. You  can observe the children behaviors that show the sign of withdrawn,shame,quiet and unhappy because, the abuser are threaten to harm the children' s family. The impact of child molester can lead the children into drug,alcohol, and sex additive.You need to document the time and event as the children recall from their memories. In addition, you need to analyze the children also and make sure they are not victim of divorce parents. Well I urge you to dig deeper and deeper and You will be surprise about people at 21TH century. Good luck.

I don't think you are being completely fair. Not all adults molest their children. The sad thing is that a lot of them do. I think it is a mixture of pleasure and power. But with that power, comes pleasure. If you are being molested, please get help. You can tell a teacher, friend, or another adult you know you can trust. Sometimes it is hard to admit what is going on, but it has to happen. The person who is molesting the child is sick and needs to get help. If it is a friend of your's that is being molested, still tell someone. They may hate you for telling someone, but they will be happy you did later. I promise you that.

Basically, the only thing that would help you identify a pedophile is to know that he/she is abusing children.\n\nIf you suspect child abuse, call your local Child Protective Services office and make a report.

Yes he's still liable.  He can still get time for molestation of a child and to think it all happened because you lied.  Shame on you.

The short answer is that if you have no solid evidence, the police will not listen to you. Also, the person you accuse could sue you for slander.

You need an attorney.  He'll tell you what kinds of evidence you need.  I'd avoid talking about this with the family until after you've talked with the attorney, and he advises you on how to proceed.

File a law suit against the Police agency right now for not doing a proper investigation prior to arresting your son. It's common in these cases that the police will just file a case without doing a good investigation.\nAlso file a complaint with your Local Dist. Attorneys Office on the Police Department and their not doing a proper case follow up, Make sure you also contact the State Attorney Generals Office and report the false charges.\nHave your son take a polygraph as well, even if you have to pay for it.\nIf contact was consentual and the girl has had prior sexual knownledge it also has bearing on the case as well.\nTalk to every boy she dated and have your attorney interview them.\n\nIt is better to spend the money now, than have a son as a registered sex offender.

It depends!! A couple of questions need to be asked.\n\n(a) are the witness statements provided as evidence for the prosecution? If so they are subject to disclosure to the defence; or are they witness statements for the defence??;\n\n(b) has there been consent by the witness for release of the statement? (i.e. if it is my witness statement and I want to send it to the press, that is my right);\n\n(c)The other clarification that is required, it released to whom? Are we talking about public release without consent or release to the defence with a prohibition on public release?; and \n\n(d) what jurisdiction are you in?? (i.e. the laws of release change in difference countries, states, provinces, etc).

Not exactly sure what you're asking.  You or your attorney should be able to file a Motion for Discovery (of evidence) with the prosecutor or court.  This asks for written/recorded statements of confessions make by you to law enforcement, your criminal record.

you can go to the police department and ask for the specific information you need. they will be required to make copies of the reports for you, for a fee, under the Sunshine laws, or open records acts

You can still get the guy for molestation and attempted rape!  Just because you're 14 doesn't mean he didn't do those things to you, older women get molested and raped and they press charges... your detective is a fool!

It depends on when the molestation occurred because the laws and case laws have changed over time.  \n\nIf it occurred prior to around 1987 - not much can be done.  This is why some priests' convictions were overturned.  The court recently ruled that any changes to the Statue of Limitations (S.O.L.)for a crime can only be used for future crimes committed after the laws were changed and then the new S.O.L. applies.\n\nIf it occurred between 1987 and 1992 AND the victim was a child at the time of the molest (12 and younger) AND the abuse was significant (more than one time)AND no report to Law Enforcement was made - the S.O.L. is one year from the time it is now reported to the police.  (Look up 803(g)in the penal code)  \n\nIf the molest took place sfter 1992 on a child 12 and younger - there is none.

How old is the girl for one thing.\nCan an innocent incident be interpreted as an out right attack?\nDoes the girl have issues and looking for attention?\nThere have been times kids falsely accuse someone just for the attention or to keep them from trouble.\n\nBut the guy could be arrested...and if the accusations turn out to be false....the accuser and her parents could be sued in a civil court for monetary damges.\n\nIt seems pedophilia is the new witch hunt.....point a finger at someone and they are burned at the stake.

TN has a law that requires anyone that has reason to believe that child abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse to report it to law enforcement.\nYou can make anonymous reports to the Dept of Children's Services.  The Child Protective Services team will start a file and follow up.\nDSC-CPS has a lot of power.  They can remove children that they think are being abused, neglected, or sexually abused.\n\nThey normally don't just bust up into your house and demand you take a drug test for no reason.  There would have to be a reason for the test.\n\nThe state of TN believes that if you engage in the use, manufacture, purchase, delivery, or sales of illegal narcotics, you are unfit as a parent.  \nHowever, they will work with you to try to help you change your ways.\nPlease note -- the emphasis is on the child's welfare, not your parental rights.

yes and ill tell you why.if it is a open case and/or open investigation then you don't any any rights to what ever information was gathered pertaining to this case.you said the key word " being accused " and " report made ". police officer's don't have to inform the parents about anything unless the child under the age of 18 is in custody or about to be taken into custody. the law's very from state to state about minors. if the case was closed w/ out charges filed or if the case is pending or closed w/ out action. then freedom of information act does not apply. only time parent's have rights's to information is when the child is read his right's then a parent has to state " yes i understand his/her rights " due to a minor not having the consent or legal right to answer it.

Criminal sexual conduct?\n\nWhat state are you in?  The laws may vary by state.\n\nThere are laws to protect children from sexual predators, but your state and the specifics of the case may have an effect on what you are asking.
