Defending False Allegations of Sexual Abuse in Omaha

Our Criminal Defense Attorneys Can Defend Your Rights & Reputation

False accusations of sex-related crimes are quite common. Many of these allegations arise from divorce or child custody battles, a scorned girlfriend or boyfriend, or a child who has been manipulated by an overzealous adult.

Being wrongfully accused of a sex offense is a shattering experience – especially when those charges involve a minor. The social stigma and damage to your reputation can be overwhelming, and the consequences of a conviction may include a long prison sentence and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
