There are too many stories like these. My son was falsely accused of sexual abuse yrs ago by an 8yr.old.She lived with 3 criminal uncles,prostitutes drug addict mother/sister Ken was an easy scapegoat.The girl finally told the truth, gave a deposition,writes letters begging forgivenss.She looked the victim my son looked guilty He was a lamb among wolves.He's still on the registry,His appeal denied. Most won't believe finally tells the truth. Too many Innocent men are scapegoats in these cases.

If you were a male, and you worked as a teacher, or as a day-care provider, and had a mustache you were a "molester." Of course I'm being over the top on the mustache thing...but it's not far from the truth.

Possibility: The *real* perpetrators called for the "witch hunt" to divert attention from *their* nastiness. Random people get the limelight while their debauchery continues. only the highest of ranks could've pulled off these allegations and this investigation. So some of the most powerful people in the U.S. very well could've been directly involved with child prostitution, rape, even murder(...) for that matter. Remember why the original witch hunts occurred? Cause the Church was evil.

i agree! there are lists of stories like this - becuase it is easier to talk shit about, hurt other people and feel empowered by the juicy gossip behind someones back then to give someone a chance to defend them selves -

@stopchildmolesters His son was a very young boy and like many of the kids ( like in the Mcmartin case) could still be brainwashed into believing something happen that didnt

@stopchildmolesters Stoll's son can't remember anything yet he says he was molested. Why is it that everybody else recanted years after he was sentenced? I don't know about Grant Self but everybody else was innocent.

[stopchildmolesters]

Two important facts about the Kern County cases:

1) One of the defendants, Grant Self, had a long record of sex crimes against children.

2) Stoll's son continued to say that he had been molested.
