Fighting to Clear Your Name: It Might Not Be Over After an Acquittal

It's hard to clear your name after a dismissal or acquittal in Colorado.

A Colorado man is fighting to clear his name, even after he was acquitted of his sex offense charges. Acting as a substitute teacher, two students accused him of masturbating while sitting at a desk. He took his case to a jury trial and the jury came back within 20 minutes, delivering a not guilty verdict. But his troubles did not end there. These Indecent Exposure charges are following him throughout his life.

Now, when he types his name in Google, his mug shot is prominent among the many stories, many of which basically label him a sex offender. Since the incident, he has chosen not to return to teaching, but is still having a hard time finding a job.

Clear Your Name of Sex Offenses: Guilty Until Proven Innocent in Weld County

When a person is accused of a sex offense, it is almost as if they are instantly assumed to be guilty. The media dramatically presents the story as if there is no doubt the accused has committed the crime. Upon officially being charged, a mandatory protection order is entered where the accused is not allowed to have contact with anyone under the age of 18, including their own children. This is the case in Greeley, Windsor, and Evans, even if there were no children involved in the case whatsoever.
