For more than 40 years, I have represented Maryland residents facing accusations of child molestation. I established the Law Offices of Charles L. Waechter to defend my clients charged with molesting children or inappropriately touching a minor. If you are facing those serious felony charges, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case at my offices in Baltimore, Annapolis, Ocean City or Bel Air.

Defenses in Child Molestation Cases

Getting to the facts surrounding the allegations is paramount in your defense. Simply stated, I determine what, if anything, happened. Many cases I handle are from couples who are in the process of ending their marriage or recently divorced. Custody disputes may not be going the way one parent wants, and he or she accuses the other of child molestation or inappropriate touching to gain leverage.

Fear sets in following an arrest for child molestation. In many cases I handle, my clients have already given statements to police without any legal representation. I will attend to all the details in your case, specifically identifying if the statement was properly obtained. If it was not, I will move to suppress that potentially damaging information.

Treatment Programs

Enrolling in a parenting class or sexual disorder treatment program is beneficial if your case goes to court. Those voluntary acts can make a difference in the serious penalties you face if convicted of child molestation.
