There are many different kinds of sexual offenses in the Texas Penal Code. Being falsely accused of any of them can be terrifying, especially if a child makes the accusation. Sexual offenses, and especially those involving children, are generally considered among the most heinous crimes by society and by the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies, Child Protective Services (CPS), District Attorney’s offices generally err on the side of caution when deciding whether to file a sexual assault case. In other words, if there is any likelihood that the allegation might be true the case will likely be taken to the Grand Jury for an indictment.
