I was just notified of these false accusations. Social Services employees or the police will be coming over, what should I say to them?
Tell them you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, but you will not speak to them without your attorney present. You have a legal right to be represented by a lawyer. The social workers or police may say they are conducting an objective investigation, but often they are only looking for evidence to support their conclusions. Anything you tell them can be used against you. Do not answer their questions. Politely end the conversation and tell them your attorney will be contacting them. Then contact Tom as soon as possible. He can help you no matter where in the country you live.

Does it make any difference if I’m innocent?
Yes, it makes a great deal of difference. In order to advocate for you in front of a judge and jury, it is important that Tom is convinced of your innocence. An attorney can only passionately advocate for that in which he firmly believes. And, unfortunately, the public and many jurors assume anyone who is accused of child sex abuse is guilty until proven innocent.
What should I do to handle this matter on my own?
Nothing. You should not take any action that has any type of legal consequence, however benign it may appear, without the specific guidance of an attorney.
