Being accused of abusing a child is one of the most severe accusations that can be brought against someone. Common abuse allegations relate to physically assaulting a child, sexual molesting a child or raping a child. Unfortunately, these types of allegations are often brought without merit and often times we see these allegations stemming from a divorce cases, paternity cases or child custody cases.
