Isn't this pretty rare, Edwarda? The victim is usually a witness (unless the molester kills him/her) and there is usually DNA evidence Unfortunately, Christine, this is not the way it sometimes works. Remember that poor family running a day-care center in Massachusetts? People in that family did time in prison on the basis of what can only be considered questionable evidence, to be charitable. NO DNA analysis because there was no--um, looking for a way to be polite here--no penetration by another person, only intimate violation. I am appalled and horrified by the molesting and exploitation of children. However, there is a cottage industry that has grown like a wayside weed in "recovered memories." I have all too personally seen the havoc these "recovered memories" can cause--"recovered memories" that, BTW, in the treatment of a therapist who has treated scores of children who have been abused, turn out to be induced and bogus. Yet this sort of thing is used in the court system all the time to deny visitation rights, to threaten, and to bully.
