In California, child abuse is defined as any sexual abuse or exploitation, any cruelty or unjust punishment, or any physical injury inflicted purposely against a minor. A charge of child abuse carries severe penalties and is often harshly prosecuted. Many times, conduct or actions can be misinterpreted resulting in a child abuse charge or conviction. If charged with child abuse, it is important that an attorney investigate all allegations to exonerate wrongful charges you may face. A conviction carries not only legal ramifications but personal harm to your reputation amongst our community and peers.
