Recently I read a book by a retired federal prosecutor, telling his life story and describing his most important cases. This was a guy whose entire mindset was 'I go after the bad guys.'

However, he said that false accusations of child abuse are common. He advised any prosecutor to be sure of all the facts before taking on such a child-abuse case.

This is something to keep in mind. Has there been abuse, or is the press merely having a field day ripping up someone's reputation?
