What Should I Say to Police if a Girl Claims Sexual Assault?

Please do not provide any statements to police officers or investigators regarding the facts of your case. You should not even discuss the case with any other person who may have an axe to grind against you. Any statement you make is called an admission and the person who took the statement or heard you make the statement can testify in court as to what you said, even if you were misunderstood or their recollection is not accurate.

A criminal sexual misconduct case is a serious felony level offense. A conviction can be obtained based on the testimony of the victim alone as it does not need to be corroborated by any other evidence. Why give the prosecution a rope to hang you with?
