When an individual is facing criminal accusations, he or she may often be unsure how to proceed. Being accused of a crime can be stressful and intimidating, especially concerning accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor. A conviction in this area can be detrimental to a person in various ways. A woman in South Carolina has recently been accused of sex crimes involving a teenager.

The 32-year-old woman allegedly met the 14-year-old boy at a local church while volunteering. Authorities claim to have received a report of sexual acts between the two individuals, and subsequently launched an investigation into the matter. Police claim that the investigation found that the woman had committed numerous sexual acts with the boy over the course of a year. There was no indication of what specific evidence was found that would determine that the alleged sexual acts had taken place.

She is now facing charges for criminal sexual misconduct with a minor. A conviction of this nature can have a lasting effect on an individual, often involving time spent in jail, as well as forcing him or her to permanently register as a sex offender. Many individuals seek to challenge theses charges and protect themselves from potentially disastrous consequences, but the process can be complex.

When facing accusations for sex crimes, it is advisable to seek legal counsel as early as possible for assistance in the process. When facing similar charges, many individuals in South Carolina speak with a defense attorney for advice on the best course of action to take. An experienced attorney can examine all evidence revolving around the situation and assist an individual in forming a strong defense to seek the best overall outcome possible.
