At The Abt Law Firm, we know firsthand how a single accusation of child-related crimes can upend your entire world, effectively stripping away your freedom, reputation, and future in an instant.
Serious charges like child molestation, aggravated child molestation, sexual exploitation of children, child pornography possession, and even criminal attempt to commit rape carry mandatory minimum sentences that can span decades in Georgia state prison. These aren't just legal battles; they're fights for your life as you know it.
In our state, child abuse referrals top 100,000 each year, yet only a fraction are substantiated after thorough investigation, leaving countless individuals vulnerable to potentially false or overstated claims that demand aggressive defense.
Recent Win: 6/6 Not Guilty Verdicts
In a landmark victory in Rockdale County Superior Court, our team secured unanimous not guilty verdicts on all six counts on January 30, 2026. The charges included aggravated child molestation (Counts 1 and 5), criminal attempt to commit rape (Count 2), child molestation (Counts 3, 4, and 6). If convicted, each one of these charges carries the potential for a life sentence.
In our client’s case, he faced multiple child sex crime charges that he did not commit. We know that even a complete not guilty verdict will never be enough for what our client went through. His reputation and livelihood were dragged through the legal system for crimes he didn’t even commit.
The jury foreperson signed the verdict form, affirming our client's complete innocence after our meticulous investigation, cross-examinations, and presentation of exonerating evidence dismantled the prosecution's narrative. This verdict saved our client from decades behind bars and restored his dignity. Being found not guilty of all 6 counts allows our client to continue on with his life without a wrongful conviction looming over him.
