Sexual Abuse

An accusation of sexual abuse can affect your job status, finances and reputation.  And a conviction can result in lengthy jail or prison sentences.

And you may have to register as a sex offender.

If accused of sexual abuse, remember these helpful tips.

1. Remain Calm

Acting out of emotion will only make your situation worse.  Remember you have the right to an aggressive defense.  You’re innocent until proven guilty.  It doesn’t matter if the charges are founded or unfounded.

2. Call Eric Schurman

3. Don’t Authorize a Warrantless Search

Don’t invite the police or Social Services into your home without a warrant.  This waives your right under illegal search and seizure under the Constitution. This allows the police to come into your home at any time and search and seize your children or belongings.

4. Keep your Case Confidential

Don’t discuss the details of your case to anyone outside your legal team.  Remember that all you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

5. No Contact

Don’t contact the alleged victim, their family or prosecution witnesses.

6. Stay Active

Being accused of sexual abuse will weigh heavy on your mind.  But remember your rights.  Keep busy with your hobby and other activities you enjoy.  Keeping a journal will help organize and calm your thoughts.  If you record anything regarding your case, keep it in a secured area.  These include a safe, lock box or safe deposit box at your bank.  Give a copy to your attorney.  It may help as evidence.

A lack of knowledge breeds fear.  Ask Eric any questions regarding your rights in a sexual abuse case.  You’ll have peace of mind knowing exactly where you stand and how to proceed.  It’s apart of his commitment to providing you with an experienced, aggressive and effective criminal defense.
