I am so lost and confused right now.

[RoryPond]

I am being falsely accused of raping my 13 year old daughter. I am innocent and in fact this isn't the first time she has done this. I am number five on the list of people she has accused then taken back against in the last few years. In my home state ( Missouri ) the minor child who is the alleged victim is allowed to refuse to take the safe exam after accusing a person of this crime and my daughter refused it. In my state ( and maybe more, I don't know ) the law allows that no actual evidence of any kind is ever needed, just as long as she says it happened. If she recants as she had every other time, they can still prosecute. The other times they chose not too but this time they chose to ignore her. We have had three different families come to us and tell us that my daughter told them it wasn't true and she wanted to go home. She made the allegations on Thursday January 22nd and that following Monday she returned to school and was seen in her music class by several people crying and stabbing herself in the leg, telling them all she wanted to die because she told a lie about me and was afraid I hated her for it. They told the teacher, who told the principal who in turn informed the police and CPS. Instead of getting to the bottom the is issue, the CPS and our local detective took her from that class, forbade her from associating with those students and kept her secluded from her sisters and brother for about two weeks before they ever seen her. Now she refuses to take it back, and insists that I hate her and raped her.
The detectives and CPS investigators are refusing to speak to my son who was here in the same room as me during the time she says it happened. ( She was never even in the room with us ) They are refusing to speak to any of the people who have tried to come forward with the truth about her confession. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that her past history of making these allegations is well documented and well known of in our community. The kids were all appointed an attorney ad litem who was supposed to be their voice ( that's how I was told it was ) but has never once spoken to any of my other kids and after my son stood up to her and demanded he be respected and listened too, she had him removed to a different home away from his sisters. I have not been arrested yet because according to a lawyer that I don't have, yet has been kind enough to get a bit of information for me, they are completing the investigation and setting the adjudication hearing for the 24th where I am to be arrested and charged, even if they found no evidence. ( They won't because it never happened ) but every attorney I have spoken too has told me to just admit it and take a plea. I will not under any circumstances take a plea or admit to doing something so sick, especially when I am NOT guilty. I need advice bad, my time is running out.

Though you are in the USA and the legal procedures are not the same as in the UK (and I don't believe any of our members are familiar with these) the whole flawed system seems to be similar in both countries so we can commiserate with and support you through this.

I am still incredulous that a 'victim' is permitted to refuse the medical examination (in my case it would have proved she was a virgin, which is probably why she refused!) but can understand why it cannot be insisted on for a minor as it would in effect then be child abuse!

The documented previous withdrawn accusations are powerful evidence in your favour, I'm assuming at some stage, if the case against you goes ahead, your guilt or innocence will be decided by a jury of your peers. These people will be far more receptive to the evidence for you rather than the legal system which just wants to see another prosecution (hence no requirement for actual physical evidence against you)

I can't read the first post properly as it's mainly all one block, and due to be a very old lady with wonky eyes!


However, as the complainant refuses to undergo a medical examination, hopefully this will be put forcefully to any jury, should the matter proceed.

I have a list of USA support groups but I am not sure if they still exist. However:

I cannot say that all of the above are to be recommended because I simply do not know - but it is worth anybody who is seeking help and support to research them first.

Just a bit of an add on

I know we are in different countries but I was just wanting peoples opinions on something to do with this. It may or may not actually matter in the case, its just other people's opinions.

I gave the police my permission to enter my home to look for evidence because I am stupid yet had nothing to hide because I am innocent. All they took out were a blanket and pillow from my daughters room to send in for DNA/semen evidence. This was on Jan 22nd. We still have not heard anything from the police on it but according to the child services lady, they already found evidence. ( I know she is full of **** ) but my question is this, if the police had actually found the physical evidence that shows I was guilty of raping anybody, regardless of who, wouldn't I be behind bars and not at home on my computer? Surely they wouldn't let a pedophile or rapist walk around for a month until the next court date would they? Like I said, I know she's full of ****, I know there is nothing and its a scare tactic, but I was just wanting other opinions.

[Casehardened]

She may simply being vindictive and/or trying to rattle you into a 'confession'.

After all thinking logically, it would be surprising if there weren't transferred traces of your DNA on your daughter's bedding (not semen obviously but skin cells!)

[Rights Fighter]

Possibly the "new evidence" is nothing to do with DNA but possibly there is a new "witness" who has popped up to say that the complainant told her/him about the "abuse".

Sorry to barge in someone's thread, but RF, is this "hearsay" evidence and if so is it allowed in uk crown courts?

[Rights Fighter]

More often than not hearsay evidence is all there is, apart from the word of the complainant. It's been like this for years.....

Actually I kind of hope they say they have an eye witness because the original report says there was nobody else in the house. So if they did that it would prove to be a lie.

[Rights Fighter]

Yep that sounds like good evidence, if indeed that is what it is

However, the accuser saying there was nobody else in the house - a fresh witness saying that they were there could claim that they came in quietly so the complainant didn't hear them.

You need to think how the other side do.
