Another Falsely Accused Man Freed

After spending 14 years in prison as a child molestor, James Bernard Parker has been freed. His accusers admitted that he hadn't committed the alleged crimes or that the crimes had, in fact, never occurred. Note, however, that the article still refers to the false accusers as "victims." Who is the true victim, and who are the true criminals?

The article also states that "Police found no physical evidence (of the alleged molestations), even though children told stories of being tied to trees and fed poisoned ice cream. They also gave a wide range of descriptions of their attacker." In addition, "The Charlotte Observer ran stories in 2002 in which 15 reported victims and witnesses said the crimes never happened or that Parker wasn't the attacker."

2002... It's damned difficult for a man to prove his innocence in the US of A.
