Sexual Assault on a Child allegations in Denver and Douglas County are dangerous. False sex assault allegations are especially crippling when a family member is making them against another family member. One father's life was turned around after false sex assault claims were made by his daughter. Let's take a closer look at his story, which is not unique.

Colorado False Sex Assault Claims: Daughter Lies, Father Faces Prison Time

People lie and our justice system is flawed in many ways. That's why our criminal lawyers fight hard for justice.

For one father, his daughter was 11 years old when she accused her father of raping her three different times. She described the false sex assault to police using stuffed animals. When examined by a physician, there was evidence of trauma to her genitals. Prosecutors sentenced her father to 15 years in prison. How could a young girl make these false sex assault allegations? It wasn't until the daughter was 22 years of age that she admitted she lied. She said she made up the sexual assaults because she wanted her father to “go away”—he was drinking and smoking marijuana. After admitting her lie, she also addressed the trauma to her genitals. She said she had been sexually active with a classmate since the second grade. The classmate then confirmed her story. Like this father, there are many innocent people in Jefferson County and across Colorado convicted of sex crimes after a victim has lied about being raped. People lie and our justice system is flawed in many ways, which is why our criminal defense lawyers fight so hard for justice in every criminal case.

False Sexual Assault Allegations Made by Kids in Arapahoe County

Had the daughter not said she lied, how much longer would her dad have been in prison? I understand she was young and had struggles at home. However, it's hard to think her words and proof of physical trauma were enough to send her father to prison. Too often kids and teens in Arapahoe and Jefferson County make false sex assault allegations. They're angry, troubled or they want attention. In fact, another man was exonerated after spending 12 years in prison when a 16-year-old accused him of raping her. It's hard for me to see how false sex assault allegations made by kids can ruin someone's life. I think our criminal justice system should be more cautious in their investigations when it comes to sex crimes involving children and juveniles. Unfortunately, police are scared of criticism and automatically believe the child.
