Please help my husband! He was recently wrongfully convicted of crimes he DID NOT commit. His ex-wife wanted to make sure he was punished for leaving her, (to be with me). He is currently in jail, waiting to go to prison. We are to poor for a private lawyer and had to put his life in the hands of a public defender. We are currently filing appeals, but need support of others who may have been the victim of an angry ex-wife or husband who sets out to legally harras you and ruin your life. My husband obtained a restraining order on his ex-wife, and one hour after she was served with the restraining order, she went to the police station and claimed he sexually abused her daughter for 5 years. oddly enough though the child had never told anyone of the abuse ever before. Not one person in 5 years. The police's investigation consisted of talking to the alledged victim, and her mother. The police never talked to my husband, they only arrested him. We went to trial, the state had absolutly NO physical evidence, A doctor who specializes in sexually abused children, had examined the child and testified to the fact that although the mother and the child were claiming there was penetration, that the child had NEVER been penetrated. We had a lot in our defense, such as the fact that the mother had done the same thing to her first husband in her first divorce, and the fact the the mothers own friend was willing to testify that the mother had said , she wanted to ruin his life for leaving her for me. convinently the state attorney filed motions to supress this evidence.


We also had the grandfather of the child who testified that he was home all the time, and never heard a thing, or knew anything of this. We had the police testify that they told the mother to go home, she was just being vendictive. We had the doctor testify that the little girl had never been touched. The child testified that my husband made video tapes of the alleged abuse and then melted the tapes immediately in the micro-wave,the live in grandfather stated he never smelt anything burning and never heard smoke alarms go off. Not to mention, that doesnt even make any sense, what would be the point in making them, why even bother, she would have been better off lying and saying she didnt know what he did with the tapes. The alleged victim claimed she would kick and scream,and then testified that the abuse was quit, she was caught in several lies while testifying.The states entire case was based on nothing but hearsay. To this day they have no evidence. Only lies. However my husbands life was in the hands of 12 strangers who were serving the end of a long 30 day jury duty, and were tired and wanted to go home. Please help us. My husband is innocent and No man or Woman deserves this. By signing our petition you could help use free an innocent man. If you were charged tomorrow with sexually assualting a 14 year old over the last 5 years, what would your defense be? If it came down to your word against someone elses, what would you do? That is a scary thought. This is a modern day witch-hunt. 60\% or more of the men in prison for this crime are falsely accused. There are men out there who committ these acts on innocent children,we need to save our resources for the true criminals, this gross abuse of the system is only wasting precious resources that could be used for the true offenders. We have to put a stop to this. Please sign my petition to help me help my husband. Please help put a stop to such a major unjustice.


Thank You
