What are some things that lead to a person being falsely charged with a sex crime?
(1) When a therapist involved in the situation has little or no experience with sexual assault cases and has made an unsupported conclusion; (2) when the police department investigating the incident does not have extensive experience with sex crimes cases. Often there is a belief that no one would ever make such false allegations. However, experienced sex crimes detectives, familiar with S.A.I.D. syndrome, know this is a real issue. Unfortunately, not all cases are reviewed by fair and experienced sex crimes detectives; and (3) when one of the family members intentionally falsifies the evidence and omits vital information when reporting the incident to the police.
