Maine Rape Hysteria update

The main website that has majority of the info on this case is here. This YouTube video is very compelling in this matter. Excerpt:

'In 1690's New England was gripped by the Witch Hunt Hysteria which destroyed the lives of countless innocent people and their families solely by the false testimony of their accusers and the misconduct of their prosecutors.

Today, over 300 years later, a new insidious Rape Hysteria grips a small community in Maine's Bar Harbor region, and again, countless lives are being ruined solely by false testimony of their accusers and the misconduct of their prosecutors.

Numerous men have been arrested and jailed in Ellsworth Maine, often solely because of someone's accusations. Some of the accused men spend many months in jail until they are finally tried on the flimsiest or even fabricated evidence. Virtually every man who is accused gets arrested, charged, and has his life publicly ruined.
...

The driving force of this Rape Hysteria is Assistant District Attorney Mary N. Kellett of Brooklin, Maine.

Vladek Filler is a decent, loving, and dedicated father, brother, and son, who decided to leave his 16 year relationship with his wife Ligia Filler (aka Ligia Barrientos), and save their children from her mentally unstable and abusive behavior. Up to the time Mr. Filler decided to leave, his wife repeatedly praised him for being "the most loving and caring man and father that she has ever seen in her entire life," and that he was “the only man for her”.
...
The most disturbing facts and evidence proving Mr. Filler's innocence have not been allowed in the trial, nor covered by the press, and remain untold as Mr. Filler struggles to save himself and his children from an unconstitutional conviction.

One day after his conviction, Ms. Ligia Filler appeared to demand their 12 year old son be immediately forced in to her custody citing Mr. Filler's conviction. For the moment, a court order protects the children from Ms. Ligia Filler's abuse.'

Shades of McMartin - only this time they're going after men instead of parents.

As more and more women become lawyers and judges, this will only get worse.

Over the centuries more trouble has been caused by that little 2 inch square invaginated area of a woman's pelvic/crotch region than all the nuclear weapons in the world will ever cause.
