9-year-old
girl March Rural
Girl claimed that her stepfather molested her. The man pleaded guilty as he said he had to
rely on what the girl said because he was drunk and had no memory of any incident
- he had been drinking heavily after a close friend died. He served about five months of the sentence
in 1993.
The girl retracted the allegation to foster parents before the man appeared
in court - but although the couple passed on that information to the Children
and Young Persons' Service (CYPS), the defence was never told. CYPS also knew
that in subsequent years, the girl made and withdrew allegations about four
other men
Five years later, aged 14, she made two more claims about her stepfather and
he was again charged with sexually abusing her. The accused then hired a
private investigator whose report prompted police to review the case. The
girl admitted she made up the story to get her mother's attention
