Yes, innocent until proven guilty. But IIRC, the McMartin case relied entirely on testimony from preschoolers. It would be a lot harder to get a 14 year old boy to accuse a complete stranger of something like this. And if the guy was not a complete stranger to the father and son, so that they might have some motive for falsely accusing him, one would think he would have mentioned that in his police interview.

Innocent til proven guilty is good to keep in mind, except in this case the perpetrator admitted his contact with the fourteen year old boy. While the alleged perpetrator has not admitted inappropriate sexual contact with any other child, the age range of children at the school is from preschool to kids requiring after school care.

There just might be some very unhappy parents who have paid a lot of money to have other people look after their children. Here's a look at the fee schedule for such dedicated child care.

I wonder how many parents will be feel pain anywhere other than in their checkbooks?

The daycare's website proudly reports their tolerance of alternative lifestyles.

Actually, you are presumed innocent by the courts until proven guilty in a court of law. If you are guilty, you are guilty. The courts just assume you innocent until the trial is over.

Remember, "Not Guilty" is a legal term and being found such does not make you innocent.

Still, I know what you mean, just a personal pet peeve of mine.
