This man went to jail, probably ON HER WORD ALONE.

Lying kid?

I agree.

This guy had the entire kitchen cabinet thrown at him.

If he did it, ok. However if she made it up...

If she made it up.

How do you know that the conviction was based on her word alone?

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Children who are abused sexually often are cowed or intimidated into keeping their mouths shut at the time. Yes, it may be “her word alone” at this point . . . but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Her mother seemed to believe it, since she called the police herself after reading the essay. You could look at the mom’s action as someone trying to get revenge on a crappy ex-spouse . . . or the action of a woman who has finally seen the penny drop and all the pieces fall into place.
