Do Not Make Any Statements
Due to the seriousness of the accusations, you should not make statements about your case to any third party until you have the representation of an experienced sex crimes lawyer. Many people feel like they need to explain their side of the story to police and investigators but any statement you make can be used against you in court down the road. Investigators are trained to elict statements and look for inconsistencies and these statements never help your case.
