Fake Criminal Accusations in Southern California

Imagine hiring a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney because you have been accused of all sorts of crimes, only to have the alleged victim recant his or her story. Imagine having your family, community and coworkers consider you "slime" for committing crimes that the alleged victim will simply admit to falsifying. It happens far more often than people like to admit, and there have been two high profile examples just in the last few weeks. For Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys, representing people accused of false crimes is no easier even with the recent examples of lying alleged victims.

In San Diego County, a 15 year old girl reported being kidnapped and sexually assaulted while walking home from school in Encinitas. However, the entire story was fabricated. The teen met an adult man she met over the Internet and had "consensual sex" with him after skipping her last class. Later, when being questioned by her parents, she got embarrassed and made up a story about being sexually assaulted by three men. While there is still an investigation due to the girl's age, the crime of rape or sexual assault is out the window. However, because the girl is 15 years old, statutory rape is still a crime that can be prosecuted.

A Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney has to look at every potential option in a case like this. However, if the general public were to hear such a story, they would immediately look at the man in question as being evil, dangerous and a menace to society. Stories like this however prove that just because someone, even someone as seemingly innocent as a minor, should not be trusted until all the facts have been investigated.
