No. Under no circumstances should you give a statement to Rhode Island police, State Police, or a sex crimes detective without a Rhode Island sex crimes lawyer present, and in almost every case the correct move is to give no statement at all. Detectives are trained to extract admissions, to present fabricated evidence they are allowed to bluff about, and to frame the conversation so that anything you say can be used to build a charge. The right to remain silent is constitutional. Exercising it is not evidence of guilt and cannot legally be used against you at trial. Tell the officer clearly: "I want a lawyer. I am not answering questions." Then call Bank & Munns. This single decision has saved more of our clients from indictment than any other factor.
