Innocent until proven guilty has exceptions - sexual assault of a child

As much as we pride ourselves as citizens of the United States of being people who live in a country where freedom is valued preciously, the reality is that every person asked to assess your guilt or innocence is human, and they often make mistakes when asked to determine the guilt or innocence of a person charged with sexual assault crimes, particularly when a child is involved. Unfortunately, the community will quickly form an opinion - one that usually involves your guilt and - in their minds - your conviction and sentence to prison.

And while we would all hope that children would always tell the truth, we all know that is not the case. When a child makes an accusation of sexual assault, the legal system is very quick to react. Once the investigations begin, opinions follow. The evidence is quickly gathered from criminal investigators, police interrogations, and sexual assault and rape medical examinations. And before the young teen realizes what she or he has done, somebody is arrested. It happens every day. Don't let it happen to you.
