RE: Don't let it get out of hand!

nzdonald,
It goes the other way also. I have rather strong concerns on this subject. I have a very dear friend who was "accused" of have relations with a freshmen female. She told her "Sunday school teacher" who just happened to be a district attorney that the teacher had sexually assualted her. He spent two years doing almost nothing but defending himself. His first trial ended in a "mistrial" and during the second the young (loosely) lady finally recanted and admitted that it was all made up. He succesfully countersuited and won compensatory damages as well as court costs.

A band director aquaintance of mine was accused of sexual assault by a young lady in his band. He lost his job and his wife before he was cleared of the charges. (Once again, the young lady finally "confessed".) He had to leave the area to find employment. It took a long time for him to get his "reputation" back. Unfortunately, our society is quick to "judge and convict" before the truth is revealed. Yes, there are times when the accused is guitly as charged and must be dealt with accordingly.
