Moral Panic : Changing Concepts of the Child Molester in Modern America
by Philip Jenkins



"Pedophiles represent a very minor component of the real sexual issues faced by children." Observing the panicked responses to specific cases, such as the murders of Polly Klaas and Megan Kanka and the McMartin Preschool prosecution, Jenkins posits the paradox that children statistically have more to fear from family and neighbors than from strangers. His well-researched study of a controversial subject is recommended for scholarly collections on child abuse and sex offenders.

The Abuse of Innocence
by Paul Eberle, Shirley Eberle



"They're putting on witnesses who they know are lying. They concealed exonerating evidence. Don't we have enough criminal conduct by the prosecutors to put them behind bars?"

"It doesn't work that way," the lawyer laughed. "The law is just for the little people. When we break the rules we go to jail. When they break the rules they go to lunch...."

"But what about the law?" the woman gasped. "What about the Constitution?"

"I'm afraid that's just one of those nice, comforting fantasies like the tooth fairy. There are two classes of people. Those who hold power and those who do not. And in any dispute the guys who hold power will decide which way it's going to go....I hope you understand that this is not about child abuse, just as McCarthyism was not about Communists."

--- Eberle, Paul and Shirley. The Abuse of Innocence: The McMartin Preschool Trial ( 1993) (reporting a discussion between a friend of the Buckeys and a defense lawyer)

Learning From the McMartin Hoax
Lee Coleman*

ABSTRACT: An analysis of the videotapes in the McMartin preschool sex abuse case shows a strong pattern of pressure, coercion and manipulation aimed at getting the children to make statements about abuse. The tapes from this case should be widely studied in that they are the key to understanding how the children could come to sincerely believe things that never happened.

"McMARTIN" RITUAL ABUSE CASES IN MANHATTAN BEACH, CA



"...the kids involved in this hysteria have indeed suffered, but not at the hands of their teachers. And the abuses perpetrated against them by the child-protection movement gone mad are every bit as awful as the tyranny of incest."
Debbie Nathan

Overview:
"McMartin" was one of the first Multi-Victim Multi Offender (MVMO) child abuse cases. 2,3 It lasted six years -- the longest US criminal trial in history. At a cost to the state of $15 million, it was also the most expensive. No convictions were obtained. The main evidence of abuse was based on what the children testified were memories of repeated, sadistic, ritual molestation. Years later, child psychologists realized that such memories can be easily implanted in children's minds by the interview techniques which were used at the time. Since psychologists and police investigators have changed their methods of interrogating young children, no more MVMO cases have surfaced in the U.S. and Canada. The children's testimony was supported by medical tests, which were believed at the time to be accurate. Years later, they were found to be useless.

The hoax adversely affected the lives of hundreds of children, who are now young adults. It has become the most famous MVMO case of its type. Many feminists and others still believe that the children were subjected to horrendous abuse at McMartin.

THE MCMARTIN NIGHTMARE AND THE HYSTERIA PUPPETEERS
By Katherine Ramsland



How It Began

In legal tradition, it is the province of the judge to determine whether an expert witness is truly an expert. In the case of one of the longest trials in American history, a better judgment call on that score could have prevented horrendous damage.

Molestation Abuse Hysteria
Posted Sunday :: September 19, 2004| Innocence Cases | TrackBack




What happens to children who falsely accuse adults of sexual abuse when they grow up? Some, like Ed Sampley, try to make amends. Sampley was one of five kids who accused John Stoll, then a 41 year old carpenter of sexual abuse. Stoll got 40 years in jail.

Last January, Sampley and three other former accusers returned to the courthouse where they had testified against Stoll. This time they came to say Stoll never molested them. They are in their late 20's now. They have jobs in construction, car repair, sales. A couple of them have children about the same age as they were when they testified. Although most of the boys drifted apart after the trial, their life stories echo with similarities. Each of them said he always knew the truth -- that Stoll had never touched them. Each said that he felt pressured by the investigators to describe sex acts. A fifth accuser isn't sure what happened all those years ago but has no memory of being molested.

The article, in Sunday's New York Times magazine, is seven pages. Unfortunately, the hysteria may be cyclical.

...discredited child-sex rings like McMartin actually may not be a bogeyman of the past. Some parents, therapists and child-protection professionals continue to believe ritual sex abuse took place at McMartin preschool. ''In 10 to 15 years, there will be an attempt to rehabilitate the ritual abuse scare,'' [Univ. of Texas psychologist Wood says. ''You can bet on it.''

Sampley still feels guilt over his false testimony:

Though Sampley clearly helped win Stoll's release by recanting his testimony, it hasn't purged the past. It hasn't erased his feelings of guilt for telling investigators what he thought they wanted to hear. It hasn't quieted his questions about why he did it. And it doesn't end his unease around strangers' children. ''I'll never coach Little League,'' he says. Recently, he was at a playground with his daughter when a kid in the next swing asked Sampley to give him a push. ''I said no. It just made me uncomfortable.''

As to Stoll:

Stoll, who now lives in the San Jose guesthouse of two of his lawyers while he figures out how to spend the rest of his life, telephones Sampley and some of the other kids every once in a while. There is something fatherly in his voice when Stoll talks about the boys -- as if they were as much victims as he was. ''I worry about them,'' he says. ''It seems to me they're all struggling in one way or another.''

For the past 6 years I have been posting on various discussion threads about my own son's false accusation.

You have done a remarkable job of researching this topic, I am truly impressed.

It is a cry in the darkness for most of us who have been put through this horrifying ordeal. Michael Jackson has the monetary means to maybe-barely-hopefully be vindicated. My son, like the majority of people without enough money to buy justice(and in child molestation cases, there is no justice)my son went to jail for something he did not do, is on a Sex Offender list until he is 26(he was only 16 when this happened) and lives with knowing anyone any time they want to, can put you in jail for something you didn't do. If you think it could never happen to you, think again. Michael Jackson is just lucky this 'child' is not under the age of 12, or he would be going to prison no matter what. 'Children don't lie' has put more innocent people in prison than any other lie in the world. If you pass a polygraph, you go to jail for being 'in denial', if you fail a polygraph saying you did it, because you will be forced to confess if convicted or forced into a plea bargain, you will go to jail for not being guilty.

Welcome to American Justice.

Again, excellent research.


If anyone is further interested in this topic, the search words 'witch hunt' will lead you to other such cases such as :
Wenatchee witch hunts (Washington State, 48 people rounded up and jailed in a false 'sex ring' accusation.'

Fells Acres - Gene Amerault was freed after 20 years of prison, because he refused to 'confess' to a crime he did not commit.

Janet Reno - red queen of prosecutors, is the mother of the 'Miami method' of prosecuting child molestation cases - almost all of who fell apart as FALSE. She went after a 14 year old boy, Bobby Finjie, who was forced to escape the country.

FRONTLINE (PBS) has excellent sites : Out Of Edenton - the child terror

about witch hunt cases.
