My friend had been incriminated by the lady who was his customer in the massage shop. She reported to the police that my friend sexually abused her but he didn't! What can we do?

We’re international people. I always believe in Australian law and I hope for impartiality.

Thank you.

This is serious.
Your friend needs to get a lawyer immediately.

Thank you very much.

It will cost a lot of money, right? But I'm just wondering how do people get lawyers if they do not have enough money?

I hope it goes well.

We have to go to the court this morning.

Court This morning? And you're posting the question this morning?

Oh well, just follow the procedures and tell the truth.

Does your friend do any massage training course in Australia? If not, it might be an idea to do this so that you can learn how to do a massage and have the knowledge to avoid upsetting customers this way again in future.
