10-yr old Children Fasely Accused of Rape in England

She has stated a few reasons for the false accusations: lying to prohibit punishment from her mother, to avoid having her candy taken away at home, to get her scooter back, and more. Her mother reportedly heard that two boys where hurting her daughter when she went to a field to find her. Afterward the girl was taken to the hospital with a some stomach pain and a few scratches on her belly. Although the girl has stated that she helped out in the events that unfolded legal actions against the boys are still going forward.(May 2010, Neilan, AOL News) If your child has been accused of a sex crime by another adolescent, it is extremely important to find a criminal defense attorney who knows children and is comfortable with them.
