Girl admits she lied about being molested.

60. I actually haven't posted directly on the issue

But I've seen a number of innocent DUers get attacked when they suggest the possibility that a child's accusation (or the adult recollection of childhood memories) might conceivably be flawed. I believe the current discussion arose over Woody Allen/Mia Farrow. This is a case where primarily one parent had access to the child and also has intensely bitter feelings, predating the alleged abuse, towards the other parent. This kind of case calls for increased scrutiny of the accusation...and to deny this is denying the accused of the presumption of innocence (you've heard of that, right?).

And IF you truly think anyone here is claiming that all rapists and pedophiles are innocent, you're an idiot who is wasting your time and everyone else's. However, there literally are people here who believe that an accuser's accusation is not to be questioned or examined too closely, and that you love sex criminals if you think anything different. It's nearly as simple-minded and offensive as the worst conservative views.

Alright, now for the knee-jerk asshole army to come along and tell me what an awful person I am for hating victims of abuse and loving baby-diddlers. I see that "You are ignoring this member" has already chimed in. Yay.
