The police will never explain everything they know concerning you or the accusations being leveled against you. Giving you the entire truth would put them at a bargaining disadvantage, so keeping you in the dark puts you in the position to be at the mercy of an investigator. On many occasions, while one is in the middle of a seemingly confusing conversation, a warrant for arrest may be on its way when police make first contact. It is of the utmost importance that you make no assumptions, and that you understand that you cannot talk your way out of being arrested or charged. The police are simply there to carry out the predetermined, or act on what evidence you supply them by assuming you know what they know, and you can get yourself into much more trouble then you may actually be in. Whatever you say to the police will be used against you in court, more than ever if what you have told them contradicts what they previously have known or have been informed of by others, and since you do not know what they have been told or are informed of, you have a very high probability of contradicting previously attained knowledge. Moreover, if you allow detectives into your house, even just for a conversation or to get out of the cold, they may look for everything they consider is evidence of illegal activity. The tendency of an individual who believes the accusation is simply a misunderstanding or believes they are being falsely accused of a crime is to offer absolute cooperation with the police. The other inclination which comes into play more often than not is to shout and scream and become otherwise very combative about how innocent one is. Unfortunately, both of these reactions can put you into a position where you hand the police a reason to arrest you that may not even exist, and words to convict you of a crime that may not have even happen, or embellish a misunderstanding that could be otherwise be handled. In most cases, the sole witness is a child. As a consequence most children tend to be considered reliable witnesses and are widely believed with little or no evidence when sexual allegations are brought. In some cases, well intentioned adults, especially those within law enforcement, have a superseding concern in protecting the children even if the truth is not the focal point of protection. This preconceived notion often can motivate the investigation to find a person at fault, even if there is an inconsistent theme to the allegations. Not every single police officer that investigates a sex crime is realistic or even honest with the proceedings.
