Anyone that has been accused of abusing a child or a senior citizen is wrapped in a terrible stigma. The alleged abuse may not even be true. Cases such as these can turn into witch hunts as prosecutors take a vigorous approach in pursuing the alleged perpetrator. Just being accused of child abuse is devastating enough.
The result of a conviction is often a “throw away the key” type of prison sentence. If sexual battery is deemed to have caused the death of someone under the age of 12 it is considered a capital crime in the State of Florida. When there is a child custody battle in play, one parent may “trump up” charges against the other with false accusations.
You need a strong team on your side if you are accused of child or elder abuse in the Sunshine State. That team is a phone call away to the office of Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett. They have been practicing Florida criminal law for a combined half-century plus. Call their St. Petersburg office today to discuss your case at (727) 821-8000.
