sexual abuse allegation
a minor whom was a foster child in our family over a year ago, has now come forward to state he was sexually ''touched'', by myself. This male is mentally unstable and developmentally disabled. . This never occured. There is no evidence ,besides what he is stating. Can an arrest be made?
Re: sexual abuse allegation
A single witness can support an allegation, and is enough in and of itself to sustain a finding of guilt if it is deemed credible. If the investigation produces credible evidence to law enforcement, they could dedide to make an arrest. Alternatively, they may want to interview you and others in your family before they decide. How did you find out that the child has made those allegations? To whom did he make them?
