Lewd Conduct and Indecent Liberties with Children
Kansas City Criminal Defense Lawyers Serving Kansas and Missouri
Whenever a child makes an accusation that an adult has committed a sex crime, the accused is immediately labeled as a "child predator" or worse. Defendants facing charges of lewd conduct are up against deep and sometimes irrational prejudice.
But children often experience and believe in things that are not, in fact, true. And even if the accusations are true, the defendant must still be sure that the prosecution doesn't exaggerate the charges, or pursue a punishment that doesn't truly fit the crime.

How We Fight Charges of Lewd Conduct
Children are not and have never been regarded as the most reliable witnesses. To find out exactly what has occurred, we conduct an aggressive investigation, determining if the child has had psychological problems in the past and weighing the importance of the child's prior relationship to our client.
We also closely examine the child's taped interview with the psychologist to see if there are any indicators that the story was made up.
