You can't afford not to have a top bull dog of a criminal lawyer attorney right now. Use the power of Visa, refinance, start selling items, beg or borrow the money. This matter could turn serious at any time. Teens never lie you know! Refresh your memory on the Salem Witch Trials. This is the modern day version. You want to stay out of jail don’t you?
Do you have other children in the home? If so, I bet you even if the DA declines to press charges, CPS (or whatever Social Services are called in your area) will be knocking on your door. You need to learn what your rights are because there is a good chance you will need to play hardball with this organization:

Been there, played this game. My step daughter has accused at least 3 men of molesting her & several woman of physical abuse. She is mentally ill & enjoys the attention. She also pulls this when she finds herself in serious trouble. Like getting thrown out of school, pregnant or like in the case of the false accusations against her father & I, she was heading to a military style boot camp. The last man she accused of molesting her was put in jail. He almost lost his family, his house & he did lose his job. It never made it to court. Bio pulled up and ran a few weeks before it was to happen. No charges were ever filed against bio or the sd.
Best of luck!! And you do know you can never have ANY contact with this girl what so EVER, EVER again.
