    No it didn't help but that is my fault. I am not familiar with how to use one of these sites. So my legal question would be with the girl going back and forth with her story, what does this do to their case against me by court? And would I be better off with a judge or jury trial?

    No but before going to the next hearing I was wanting to get a head start on doing whatever I can. Getting enrolled, or have a very good idea of what they are asking me to do. By checking into them now.

    Please read the answers before you post a new question. I realize you don't know how this forum works but you are (apparently) continuing to post without reading the answers. Here is what I posted yesterday.

    I have no idea what you plan to enroll in - if you did nothing, as you say, why are you enrolling anywhere for any purpose? "Most" sex offender programs - which is what we are talking about have to be Court ordered in order to be recognized. So far, you haven't gone to Court. Check into all the programs you would like but the Court will decide, if you are found guilty, which program you must attend.

    At any rate, here's what I posted yesterday:

    "It is more helpful on the legal boards if you stick to the question - this is what happened, what can I do. I understand you are upset but you have to see this from the Court's perspective.

    You are charged with some heavy crimes. The child accuses and denies and accuses and denies. A trained professional will interview EVERYONE and make a determination as to the truth of the charges and the stability of the parties AND what is in everyone's best interest.

    At this point the only thing you can do is comply with Court Orders and Agreements and see where this goes. There is nothing you can do to "bolster" your case. The sad part is that many predators are professionals who hold down jobs and have sterling reputations so the Court does not pay a lot of attention to "recommendations," as such."

    Hello c:

    There are TWO facets to your problems. The first is your guilt. You either DID this thing, or you DIDN'T. The second is your punishment IF you did it. I wouldn't deal with the second part yet... As a matter of fact, if you're NOT guilty, why would you need to "improve" and write a plan about it?

    If you try too much to mitigate the crime BEFORE you're even convicted of it, it makes you look like you're guilty.
