First Degree Child Sexual Assault Case Dismissed in Waupaca County

The client was accused of violently assaulting his daughter six years before the complaint was filed.  After exhaustive investigation, we won a key pretrial hearing to show the accuser had made multiple false accusations of abuse over a period of years.  Additionally, we presented expert testimony that the accuser's memory was irrevocably tainted by a combination of improper parental, law enforcement, and social worker interviews.  Finally, we presented a compelling theory that these allegations stemmed from a bitter custody dispute.  The State dismissed all five counts right before trial.
