As per professional social worker, psychotherapist and Author, Edward Nichols MSW, LCSW, of Nichols Consulting, Criminal defense cases involving false allegations of child sexual abuse and or sexual assault requires a special burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt whereby it must be shown that:

  1. The alleged victim's testimony is false
  2. Why the false allegations were made, and
  3. how the false allegations were developed

Attorneys who ignore this special burden do so at their client's expense and freedom.

The testimony of adverse experts in these cases is designed to provide an explanation for the inconsistencies and implausibility that normally impeach the complaining witness’s credibility.

Whether in a criminal or civil matter, these cases require specific expertise in developing an effective theory of the case and strategy to facilitate a desirable result. Highly experienced attorneys, without specific experience in many false abuse cases, routinely experience disastrous results.

Unlike other cases, these cases require a proactive posture rather than a defensive posture. From opening to closing statements, the successful attorney must present a proactive case which is mindful of the special dynamics at work in allegations of child sexual abuse.
