I can't believe that the Mom would lie - and then encourage her child to lie as well - just in hopes of getting some money.. If that's true, then both the Mom AND the DD will need counseling..
I also think the Mom should have criminal charges brought against her for filing a false report.. Innocent or not, a black mark like that will follow that poor man around forever.. Front page when he's accused - often times a teeny tiny blurp buried in the back of the newspaper when someone is found INNOCENT..
I remember this. He was very well thought of by his peers. He has a family, young children if I remember correctly. I hope he can put it behind him and go back to doing what he loved.
