False accusation: Bogle commended Stockwell on researching the case and questioning the allegations. He said Gowan’s accuser had made similar claims about other men in the past.

“She has a history of creating a crisis and utilizing it as a mechanism for change,” he said.

Social workers have since taken the woman’s children, and Gowan’s child is living in Georgia with his mother, Bogle said.'
