I’m hooked on your story/blog. My dad was falsely accused of touching a 12 yr old boy family member. We think he made this up because he was caught throwing rocks & tearing up my dads little storage shed. My dad caught him (along w/ my 10 yr old nephew) & got onto them verbally & then smacked them on the butt w/ his hand. Well the accuser told his grandmother who told my mother. My mother told her if she thinks this really happened to go to the police. Which they did not do. My mentally ill step-sister did (as an act of hate) on my dad. Dad was arrested & bailed out. I found out today that he was indicted. They found this out by reading it in the local newspaper. There are other “events” that this 12 yr old has done & I feel 100% that my dad is innocent. I find this heartbreaking that all this was done just because a boy got mad & is retaliating. My thoughts & prayers are with you during this trying time. Thanks again for sharing your story.

Thank you so much for sharing your story Jay! It’s so difficult to believe that this happens ALL THE TIME…but I appreciate hearing that I was not the only one. Hopefully, someday, by us all sharing our stories we can promote some kind of change to the ‘system’!

My story was much the same. A troubled teen relative accused me. I mentored the relative for years and he was my brother child. We had an argument one Sunday afternoon, he cursed me out. I grabbed him and shook him and told him that if he ever talked like that to me again he would not stay with me and i would not tolerate it. Later things seemed fine. He left my house with a relative whom came to pick him up shortly after our argument. He was suppose to stay another night but I was told he had a play date with his cousin. This relative of mine had a history of child abandonment, neglect and even rumored physical abuse from his mother and siblings. By the time I was in the picture he had already set a garage on fire and committed several acts of vandalism. My brother his father was a piss poor father. His idea of spending quality time with his son was blowing into town once every year and a phone call on his birthday to say hi. My relative mother was a recovering alcoholic and held a lot of animosity on how my brother left her. Through out her days after breaking up with my brother she left my nephew with my older sister on her door step and told her that the kid was my family responsibility to raise him and not hers. My brother took him for a reluctant time while my nephew mother went through alcohol treatment. Nephew mother had another child shortly after my nephew was born, the father of that child was 15 years old and she never collected child support or named the father out of fear that DSHS would then file charges with the state for her illegal sexual encounter with a minor. Back to that Sunday that changed my life forever. After my nephew left with his aunt to go on the supposed play date, 5 hours later I get a knock at my door. I lived and worked at a hotel, so it was nothing unusual to see cops come to my door requesting a audit on guests staying at the hotel or responding to a report. The owner of the hotel spoke very broken English and would often send the police to talk to me.The cop that came to my door this night I knew on a first name bases. He asked him he could come in, he was with another cop. I said sure and offered the cops a seat. They said they needed to talk to me privately away from the owner of the hotel. I said sure. Then as they shut the door they said we have to arrest you and take you to the station your nephew made some allegations against you. I was like if this is about the argument we had today where I grabbed him by the arm then this is just stupid you guys are wasting your time, i did nothing wrong! The cops looks confused, looked at each other then back at me and said no, we are here because he accused you of touching his private parts. I was floored! I could not even think straight! The one cop i knew said he was sorry he had to follow policy and he had to hand cuff me. He said they get it all cleared up at the station. On our way down i told them i was innocent. They said well we can’t talk to you in the car. Then the cop i knew said why do you think he said this about you? Was it the argument? I didn’t want to believe it, Many times i asked if this was all for real! I get to the station, They process me in. They hand cuff me to a 5x 10 foot room to a wall where camera in shooting down on me. I’m in tears and heart broken by what my nephew had done. I was also full of anger as well. The cops come in and say, you ready to confess and talk! No Miranda rights read, no nothing! I looked at them and said or you serious? Are you for real? I said what part of me telling you I am innocent did you not understand? They said ok he not willing to talk. They left. Half hour but maybe longer all i know it seemed like forever, they come back, you ready to talk and confess? I said i know my rights and I have nothing to confess to! I said i am innocent, give me my phone call i want an attorney! They said ok then we have to take you to jail! So they took em to jail. The one cop i knew said well nothing i can do because you requested an attorney. Don’t worry it will all work out you be out in 48 hours. I am hysterical at this point and losing all of reality! I got to jail, I got my phone call which was to my 60 year old father to tell him i had been arrested on a felony charge of sex abuse. It about gave him a heart attack on the phone! Then im photographed, booked and finger printed like a criminal. Then stripped searched and placed in a orange jump suit that inmates use. I’m told by the same officer, you will more then likely only be here for 48 hours. They kept me in jail for 9 months before a trial. They did this on just the word of another, just on a allegation! I was locked up with murderers, rapists, thieves. Here the real funny part, i had a perfectly clean record before my nephew act of evil! I never committed a crime. I learned while I was in jail that most criminals that go into jail and prison come out being raped themselves or they end up being rapists. I heard so many stories it made me sick! People would come and go from prison where I was locked up and there was always more and more stories. Another funny thing more drugs get passed in jail and prison then they do out on the streets, i seen it with my own eyes. I was innocent of my charges by way of Jury. On the jury who presided over my case, One was a school teacher, another a police officer, another a child physiologist, A farmer, A field worker, A mechanic and few stay at home moms and i believe a older man not sure what he was. All came back with the verdict as Absolutely Not Guilty your honor and it was said that way! I died in that court room! I literally died. You think they would have let me go right then and there! They didn’t I had to wait another 8 hours before they released me! i was abused by guards while in jail. I My life was threatened by inmates. I was severely hurt while in jail requiring stitches. In the end the prosecutor said, We had a job to do sorry you had to go through this but the system prevailed. The judge said the same damn thing as though that was suppose to make me feel good. I have no trust in cops,I actually hate them to this day and celebrate when i pick up a paper and see one been KIA. I hate the judicial system. I my ethics as far as helping youth or family youths or any youth. If it’s not of your seed, your direct seed, Your actual blood itself, DO NOT HELP THEM and stay away like the plague. Id never become a teacher or any kind of youth coordinator. I won’t even let child hood friends of my children come over for any reason. i never put myself alone ever with a child! My wife with me 100% the time it was agreed to be that way upon my request! I have looked for help, As result of being locked up I have become paranoid and afraid to open my own door. I cringe when i see a cop! While locked up i suffered an attack of PTS. I suffered it when i was in the military as well and was given a medical discharge. While I was having issues with breathing and going through the attack the guard to the jail had an idea of pepper spraying me. Tax dollar at work! Reading this story is hard after im done i guess ill go take a Xanax. There is no help for those wrongfully accused of a sex crime and people who wrongfully accuse others should be taken out and shot! There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that i don’t wish the worse on my nephew, his mother. Everything that was good about me, Died the day I was wrongfully accused. All that’s left is a broken, bitter and hateful man thanks to society judicial system and those that claim to be law enforcement in the field of preserving justice. Oh and if any of are saying, why didn’t you file suit! LOL Can’t file a law suit on these kinds of cases they say an allegation is considered reasonable cause. So bare that in mind!

Thanks for your bravery and persistence in creating this site. While my circumstance is different in degree, it is a mirror to your horror. I was accused of sexual harassment at work and lost my job after a quasi-judicial procedure just like the one you experienced under the cover of “law.” Responses to sexual harassment have adopted the guilt-first doctrine of sexual abuse or assault. And, as you know very well, once you lose your reputation, it can never be won back.

I hope others will take hope from your site and expand this inquiry to all forms of false accusation.

I left my teaching position a few years ago. One of the biggest reasons was I was tired of accusations. From year to year, it varied. I was accused of physical abuse almost every year and then the accusations of sexual innuendo started popping up. It was a field day for the most dysfunctional students by the time I resigned. The crooked director of hr, investigated and actually went to the police. Please check out teacherhunt.blogspot,com

There’s an Appendix in my book – Elusive Innocence – titled “How To Choose Your Attorney” which I suggest everyone pour over before they plunk down a retainer fee for counsel.

Thanks so much for your support Toby. Without talking about it – the ‘general public’ will have NO IDEA how frequently this occurs. You read about the accusations and arrests in the newspaper, but you NEVER see or read about when that person was proven innocent!
