This is what happens when you have a system that is too quick to believe a plaintiff in a rape case. In this case, it was a child molestation case, and the amount of suffering that the poor man went through is sick. What is intolerable, though, is the fact that the police did everything they legally could to make the charges stick, even though at the time there were ample reasons for them to be suspicious of what was going on. For example, the child's latest fabrication was that a bald, white man was the one who molested her. How on earth do you justify berating a black man into nearly confessing to a crime he didn't commit when the "suspect" is white?
They shield the identities of minors who commit crimes in order to protect them from the consequences. Personally, I think this girl's identity should have been plastered all over the New York City papers, not the man she accused. Even though she is eight years old, clearly she knows what she is doing because this is not the first man that she has gotten into serious legal trouble for whatever twisted reason her sadistic little mind has. Maybe she is demon possessed or something, but the fact is, she is a public menace, and it is in the best interest of every man who might come into contact with her to know that she is a lying psychopath.
Picking on a little black girl? Won't happen. Unless she falsely accuses a judge. Or someone rich.
