More details to this question:
My ex-boyfriend has been accused of raping my 9 year old daughter and is currently on the run and evading arrest. What are the possible charges that I could face as the mother who refused to believe the child, for a while, and sided with the ex-boyfriend until I was convinced that there was enough evidence to issue a warrant for arrest?

They could sue you civilly. Or maybe as a conspirator if you really knew. But that's hard to prove. Before talking to any police officers or investigators, you better have an attorney to protect you. Until then, don't say anything to anyone.
