is it illegal or criminal to discuss a criminal case with the accuser?

My son is being accused of a serious crime. I called the accusers mother to see what she thought about the charges her teenage daughter is saying

happened. She said her daughter lies a lot and doesn’t believe her. The

parents all have criminal records so family is surrounded by drama. Anyway,

the police said I had no right calling her and said I was witness tampering

and tried to tell her to drop charges. I did no such thing. Just curious what

you think. I am not involved in the court case and feel I can talk to anyone.
