[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a criminal defense attorney and have had probably one or two of these types of cases per year.  One of my friends has had several as well.  They aren't uncommon.  If I were the mother of a son, I would be teaching him a multi-step process to follow before having sex.  In this case, it sounds like the son made a statement about what happened.  That will be used against him.

These cases are terrifying for my clients and their families.  Every kid should be taught to remain silent in the face of any accusation like this and to tell their parents about it and CALL A LAWYER.  If this family called me and said thisnaccusation has been made and the school/the police want to talk to him about what happened, I would direct the son not to make any statement to anyone about this.  He would attend no meeting and would exercise his right to remain silent.

Yes, he did make his initial statement of his side of the story (which matched hers) to the Dean who was investigating.  That statement and their other gathered evidence is what was turned over to the local PD, who then questioned him.  My friend said he didn't tell his parents about the questioning until AFTER her met with police and his friend told him that he could be in some serious trouble.  Until then he thought it would just be found to be a misunderstanding because in his eyes, he stopped when she freaked out so he didn't do anything wrong.  I also think he was trying to hide the incident from his parents thinking it would blow over.  [/quote]
