False Sexual Assault charges are becoming all too common in the State of Vermont, driven by overzealous prosecutors who are intent on handing down harsh sentences. Defendants are often facing years behind bars because of these charges, and risk being cut off by their friends, family, and even employers. It is important that you hire a defense lawyer who is not only committed to fighting the charge but fighting to show the truth of what happened. At Handy Law we have successfully fought these charges for years by combing through statements by victims, witnesses, and police, finding inconsistencies, challenging evidence, and exposing lies.
Charges involving children, including rape, sexual assault, and child pornography, are among the most serious crimes our office deals with. These cases can be hard to defend against, as the victims can be very young and easily misled, but once an accusation is made, prosecutors will move aggressively against the accused. It is important to hire a law firm with experience in litigating these sensitive topics and working with child accusers, to get you or your loved one the best outcome.
In cases involving child pornography, issues such as successfully identifying IP addresses, tracing web activity, and proving ownership are what make or break a case. In order to successfully defend against these charges, you will need a dedicated law firm willing to go through all the data and information with a fine-tooth comb, looking into every inconsistency and possible weakness of the government’s case.
