I bet his ex-wife won the custody battle.

Why in the world would the ‘children’ wait 20 years to exonerate their father?
I don’t get it.

She said that when she finally read the police reports she was “absolutely sure” the abuse never happened.
“I would have remembered something that graphic, that violent,” Tetz said.

“Both children said that while growing up in California they were told by their mother, who divorced Spencer before he was charged, that they were blocking out the memory of the abuse.
They said they realized as adults the abuse never happened, and they came forward because it was the right thing to do.”

wait 20 years to exonerate their father? They were afraid of their mother, and the same investigator probably told them they would go to jail if they changed their story.

The two kids made statements and it looked airtight. And yet it wasn’t. It was a lie. But freepers will yell “castrate him”! on only an accusation. Scary.

I knew a kid that was threatened with jail if he refused to testify. It actually happens.

I saw no mention of the ex wife's status. I would hope she would be charged with something.

I know of a guy who this same thing happened to.
They have told him that if he would just acknowledge his abuse, they would release him.
He refuses to do that because it never happened.
I am sure there are others in the same situation.
To: Dan(9698)
I would be sure and correct my mistake. I might not have abused them then, but I would find a way now.
20 years out of a person’s life cannot be paid back with an apology.

Put them in jail to see how it feels to be locked up for 20yrs!

I know of a guy who this same thing happened to.This kind of crap is a perfect example of why you should always have a cell phone or some other tech tool capable of recording. Obviously, not available at the time to prevent this. Shame.

In my side ventures in photo/video when working with models (esp. minors and always a parent present) I have my camcorder running, usually on wide view for my protection. I haven't run into any problems with anyone. My main rule is 100% hands off. Besides I am not a touchy-feely type.
I can't imagine what that guy has been through. All those years away, someone needs to be called to account for this travesty.

Expound on that? If a man is arrested for abuse there will invariably be freepers on the thread that call for castration. When you point out that it may not be true, the excuse is that some have to suffer to make sure the guilty are punished. I quit trying to reason with people on threads like that. I read them but it’s been several years since I asked them to reconsider their opinion.
