Rape & Child Molestation Charges in Douglasville, GA

When the charge alone can destroy your life, you need someone the jury will trust.

Being accused of rape, statutory rape, or child molestation in Georgia is one of the most devastating and high-stakes moments a person can face. These charges carry the harshest penalties in the criminal justice system—and the judgment starts long before the trial does.

I’m not just any defense attorney. I’m a woman, a graduate of Emory Law School (a top 20 law school for over 100 years), and I’ve tried multiple rape and child molestation cases in front of many Georgia juries. In case after case, jurors have told me they trusted what I said—because I’m a woman, and the alleged victim was a woman. That matters. When you’re fighting serious accusations, credibility in the courtroom isn’t optional—it’s everything.


What You’re Facing Under Georgia Law


  • Rape – A conviction carries life in prison or a mandatory minimum of 25 years.
  • Statutory Rape – Even consensual sex can be charged as a felony if the other party is underage.
  • Child Molestation / Aggravated Child Molestation – Sentences range from 10 to 30 years and often include lifetime sex offender registration.
  • Sexual Battery / Aggravated Sexual Battery – These charges can result in decades in prison, and the consequences don’t stop when the sentence ends.


You could lose your freedom, your family, your job, and your future—even if you’re completely innocent.


Every Case Has Two Sides. I Make Sure Yours Is Heard


Many of these cases come down to one person’s word against another’s. The emotional weight is heavy, especially when the alleged victim is a woman or child. But the law still demands proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and that’s where I do my best work.

I’ve defended clients across Douglasville, Carrollton, Marietta, Hiram, and beyond—getting charges reduced, dismissed, or beaten at trial. I challenge shaky witness testimony, expose false allegations, and cross-examine with surgical precision.

As a woman defense attorney in these highly sensitive cases, I offer something most lawyers can’t: the ability to confront difficult topics directly—without alienating the jury. I speak their language. I’ve earned their trust. And when everything is on the line, that trust could be what saves you.


The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Wait


If you’re being investigated—or if you’ve already been arrested—do not speak to law enforcement. Don’t try to talk your way out of it. Let me do the talking for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do not talk to the police, detectives, or anyone else without a lawyer present. Even if you think you’re helping yourself, you could be giving the State everything it needs to build a case against you. Call a criminal defense attorney immediately. The sooner I get involved, the sooner I can protect your rights and control the narrative.


Yes—Georgia prosecutors can and do pursue charges even when there’s no physical evidence and the accuser’s story has changed. These cases often come down to credibility, and that’s why trial skill and jury trust are everything. I’ve won these cases in court by exposing inconsistencies and showing jurors the full truth—not just the prosecution’s version of it.


Unfortunately, “I didn’t know they were underage” is not a defense to statutory rape or child molestation in Georgia. The law holds you strictly liable—even if they lied, even if they looked older, even if they consented. But all hope is not lost. I’ve successfully defended clients in these exact situations by attacking the State’s assumptions and forcing them to prove every element of the charge.


Absolutely. I’ve won rape and aggravated child molestation trials in Georgia courts—even in cases where the odds looked stacked against my client. Jurors trust me because I tell the truth, I prepare relentlessly, and I don’t back down from emotionally charged accusations. When your life is on the line, you want a lawyer who’s been there—and won.
