Defending Child Molestation Charges in New York

Child molestation covers various different sex crimes committed against a child, including but not limited to: inappropriate touching, child sexual abuse, indecent exposure, child pornography, sodomy, statutory rape, and incest. Molestation charges are often brought against parents, family members, teachers, or other individuals who spend time with the alleged victim on a regular basis. For this reason, a defendant may face charges of a "course of sexual conduct against a child" which may involve numerous counts of sexual acts against the victim.

Depending on the allegations, the age of the child, the number of occurrences, and a number of other factors, a person facing a New York child molestation conviction may face up to life imprisonment, as well as other criminal penalties such as fines, victim restitution, sex offender registration, and more.
