I’ve been disgusted with the US legal system for a long time. Judges, lawyers, prosecutors can be pretty corrupt and they’re never punished. They’re like Wall Street banksters

the prosecution may have withheld key exculpatory evidence.

it is the prosecutions duty to share that information..

if true he is owed millions and the DA if alive should be given his own medicine

The chance of a child sex abuse case being valid is in inverse proportion to the number of alleged victims.

What gets overlooked in these cases is that some guilty party or parties went free. And free to duplicate the crime.

Whenever I read about these cases I am reminded that hysteria and mob psychology are an ever present danger in all of us. This same beast that was almost certainly behind the Salem Witch Trials and other such 'old history' reappeared in the 1980s with the "Preschool Child Abuse Trials", a spate of accusations and trials that centered upon accusations of child daycare centers abusing their charges sexually and satanically.

Central to these prosecutions were several concepts; 1) Young children do not lie, 2) Repressed memories can be factually retrieved and 3) Children must be protected from being questioned in court. Almost certainly not all of the defendants in these many cases were innocent BUT equally certain was the fact that innocent people ended in prison in these cases. In hindsight each of the above prosecutorial concepts has been disproven or modified but it took a long time for the victims (adults AND children) to recover.

An interesting footnote to this spate of prosecutions exists in our even more recent history. President Clinton's search for a FEMALE Attorney General yielded 2 duds, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, before finding a successful candidate in Janet Reno from Miami Florida. Part of her claim to fame was her efforts in prosecuting such a case for "Grant Snowden / Satanic ritual abuse" that apparently brought her name to the Clinton's attention.

“To make matters worse, the case against Baran was awash in homophobia. According to court documents, the first parents to come forward with accusations against Baran in September 1984 had just days earlier registered a complaint with the center that Baran was “queer.” The boy’s mother, who thought gays “shouldn’t be allowed out in public,” much less permitted to work at day care centers, said she “didn’t want no homo” watching her son.”

Wow, can you believe that a mother wouldn’t want her little boy “watched” by someone whose “identity” is public restroom sex, and all the “goodies” that go along with it (HIV, AIDS, etc. etc. etc.). Homophobe!

Is this article from the now defunct Washington Gay Blade?

Close, it’s from the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual LIBERTARIAN “reason.com”. (”Reason provides a refreshing alternative to right-wing and left-wing opinion magazines by making a principled case for liberty and individual choice in all areas of human activity.”).

Nice try, playing up the “gay man” as the victim.
