Article here. Excerpt:

'In an effort to keep people from maliciously filing false reports of child abuse in the midst of divorce, custody fight, or other domestic conflict, the Oregon Legislature passed legislation making it a Class A violation resulting in a $750 fine.

One of our members, Gordon Hillesland, has tracked this legislation through the Oregon House and Senate. Ten years ago, his wife accused him of abusing his children when she was seeking a divorce. The accusations, even though he was never charged, ruined his life.'
