Child Molestation

Serious Allegations Requiring Aggressive Defense

Facing a Child Molestation Arrest? What You Need to Know:

Child molestation accusations are among the most serious charges in California, carrying life-changing penalties. A conviction can mean lifetime sex offender registration, years in prison, and permanent damage to your reputation—even if you are innocent. Immediate legal representation is critical to protecting your rights and future.

What Are Child Molestation Crimes?

Child molestation involves allegations of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. In California, these cases fall under Penal Code Section 288 and related laws, and they often carry mandatory lifetime registration under Megan’s Law. Even juveniles convicted face lifelong restrictions. Because many cases lack physical evidence, accusations often hinge on testimony, which can sometimes be influenced by adults or stem from false claims in contentious custody disputes.

Potential Penalties Include:

Mandatory lifetime sex offender registration
Prison or county jail sentences
Strikes under California’s Three Strikes law
Permanent listing on the public sex offender database
