About 6 months ago my 10 year old cousin accused me of touching him inappropriately. I've been arrested and released on bail but have not been indicted. I've already hired a lawyer and received advice. I'm just hoping for other opinions as this is all very nerve wracking.
I've read the police report and found out that he was caught messing around with another boy his age in a bathroom and used me as an excuse for what he was doing. My family and I asked around and apparently he's been caught doing this with a few other boys. Two of whom are not even related to us. We have signed statements from the parents of these other boys. After we found this out we also found out that at the time he said I did anything I was living in another city. I have a signed and notarized letter from the dorm I was living in that I wasn't even living in the bedroom he said the touching happened. Basically all they have is his interview as evidence which was apparently enough for an arrest warrant. Even though this is an anonymous forum I still feel the need to say that I haven't done anything and this little pervert has some problems.
My lawyer thinks I should take a polygraph. I think they're junk science but if it will really help convince the grand jury I don't mind taking it. The problem is I don't have the $1000 it costs to take it.
I guess I'm just curious as to others opinions about my chances of this returning as "no bill" from the grand jury. Should I sell what I own in order to pay for a poly or should the evidence I have be enough?
