Child Molestation

The very first thing you should do if you have been accused of child molestation in New Hampshire is call an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

Children are considered innocent and anyone who is accused of molesting a child is going to face a tough challenge. That’s why it is essential to have an attorney who knows New Hampshire’s judicial system fighting for your rights as you face sexual offenses.

Criminal defense lawyer Michael Anzalone fits the bill. He will not pre-judge you and will work diligently to make sure all of the legal bases are covered.

State laws outline the penalties for all kinds of child sexual abuse in RSA 169-C, which is the Child Protection Act.

When a child is molested or abused, the court system and the state of New Hampshire move quickly to offer protection. The child must be removed from his or her house if a family member is accused in the case. Sometimes that means the child goes into protective custody of the state. Other times, the child can be placed with other relatives.

At any rate, the wheels of justice move fairly quickly when a child is involved and this is why you should get a lawyer to make sure your rights are protected. Especially if you are a parent accused of molestation. These are extremely serious charges in New Hampshire and you could be facing many years in prison if you are convicted of child molestation.

The state will bring evidence in the case before a judge and the person accused of the abuse must also be given an opportunity to present evidence. The judge has the final say, but state officials must prove abuse by a preponderance of evidence. This is a legal term that simply means the evidence that is presented in court has to make it more true than not that the abuse as described in the court case did occur.

This is another reason you need to have an experienced lawyer by your side every step of the way in this process.
