Few experiences are as damaging and terrifying as being falsely accused of sexual assault. In California, these allegations can destroy your career, family, and reputation—before you’re even charged or convicted. At LibertyBell Law Group, our criminal defense lawyers are here to protect your name, rights, and freedom from day one.
What to Do If You’re Falsely Accused
Do not panic—but do act fast. If someone has accused you of sexual assault, even informally, take these steps immediately:
- Do NOT contact the accuser under any circumstances
- Hire a defense attorney experienced in false allegations
- Preserve all communication (texts, emails, calls, social media)
- Gather potential witnesses and timelines to support your side
Even if you think the truth will protect you, remember: the criminal system does not always presume innocence.
How False Allegations Happen
Many false accusations stem from:
- Revenge or jealousy
- Custody battles or divorce
- Misunderstood consent
- Peer pressure or coercion
- Mental health issues or intoxication
Regardless of the reason, the consequences are very real—and often permanent without proper defense.
Our Legal Strategy
We start by launching an aggressive pre-file investigation. If you have not yet been charged, our goal is to convince the DA to reject the case. If charges are filed, we fight to:
- Discredit the accuser’s story using inconsistencies and evidence
- Expose motive and bias
- Bring in character witnesses, alibis, and digital records
- File motions to dismiss or reduce charges
We’ve successfully defended professionals, students, and everyday people whose lives were nearly ruined by lies.
What Happens If You’re Convicted?
Conviction can lead to:
- Prison time
- Mandatory sex offender registration
- Loss of job or professional license
- Loss of custody or visitation rights
- Permanent public records and online exposure
That’s why fighting from the start is your best defense.
