Many times, the person making false accusations of sexual abuse is someone close, such as an angry family member or spouse or a disgruntled employee. False sexual abuse allegations come about for various reasons, including revenge, anger, or even a financial reward. These are a few examples of why false allegations occur:
- An ex-spouse using sexual abuse for leverage in a divorce.
- A disgruntled employee that had their sexual advances denied.
- A teenager who is upset at their parents or step-parents.
- A child who wants attention.
- A person who seeks revenge and to ruin another’s reputation.
False allegations of sexual abuse are not to be taken lightly and require proper legal representation. If a person is convicted, they may face 2 to 99 years in prions, along with hefty fines upwards of $10,000. In addition, a person may have to register as a sex offender, which makes it tougher to get a job and prohibits someone from living in certain areas, making it harder to find a home.
