I wonder how many people on this forum would have been read to hang him when the story first came out. Lot's of pro vigilante sentiment here at times.

This is one reason these youth acts are bullshit. The accusers name should be released and have criminal charges placed, if you knowingly make a false sexual molestation accusation you should have the same penalty as the accused would have gotten.

And from the title I thought this was another bash on the healthcare system!

Didn't even notice that. I should have left off his name instead.

I agree.

Everytime I hear something like this I'm reminded of the Martinsville Satanic Sex Scandal, that turned out to be false but cost alot of people their lives, both physically and mentally.

Yet none of the perpatrators was ever punished?

Those who make false accusations like this get theirs eventually....you can bet money on it. All completely legal of course.

Maybe, but if you're counting on Karma, you might be waiting a few lifetimes for justice.

Me personally, I'd rather see it here and now in a court of law or prison cell.

There are services listed in the yellow pages that can help....for a small retainer. All completely legal of course.
