What to do if Charged?

You may be tempted to contact the accuser to try and resolve the issue directly. Do not contact the accuser. All correspondence before and after the incident can and will be used against you. A lawyer should be representing you in all stages to ensure that nothing hurts the defense case.

You may think that destroying any evidence in your possession will help your defense case. However tampering with evidence will almost always backfire against the defendant.
