My brother-in-law (30 yrs old) has been accused, by a 14 year old girl, that he has touched her leg and kissed her neck.
For the first incident, my BIL, a couple other adults, and a couple teenagers (including this girl) were sitting a a picnic table outside of all of their townhomes. It was after a BBQ and was dark outside. There were a total of 6 people sitting at the table. My BIL was next to this girl, but with a bar in between them. She says that he touched/rubbed her leg. One of the other adults there did ask him about it later that night, and he told him no he did not.
The other incident,my BIL, this girl, and her friend were outside of their townhomes. This girl grabed something of his and would not give it back and was goofing around. He ran after her and grabbed her to get his stuff back. She says he kissed her on the neck as he did that.
He completely denies touching her or kissing her neck. He says he may have accidentally touched her leg or something when he was reaching in his pocket.
The police came to question him last night, but that was it. What can we expect? Doesnt there need to be proof to charge him? And what would the charge be? What would the punishment for that be?
His wife is due to have a baby in a month and half and wants to know what she can expect even if it is planning for the worse.
Any advice would help, thanks.
