About

Falsely Accused Dad is a blog that details my personal story about being falsely accused of a horrific crime and the devastating impact it had on my life and the life of my wife and children.  The purpose of this blog is to share the details about the events that occurred over the past 2 years as a result of this accusation.  I want to make other men around the world aware of how their lives can be completely devastated by the words of just one child.

The False Accusation

In November of 2006, I was accused by a family whom we considered our friends, of inappropriately touching their 4 year old daughter during a party out my home.  The accusation was ridiculous, as in our house at the time were more than 15 adults.  Regardless, I was arrested, placed in jail, released, lost my job, removed from my home for a year, lost all but our closest of friends, and shunned by our neighbors.  For the first time in all of my years of living in the US, I have a criminal record.  What makes all of this so shocking is I did nothing.  There was no evidence beyond the word of a 4-year old girl.

At this point, I know what some of you must be thinking and I am fully aware of the types of feelings this type of crime stirs up.  But please, just hear me out and remember I too have children that I love and cherish dearly.

I ask that before you judge me, take the time to read my story, understand the events that occurred in my life and learn how our judicial system truely works.  I promise you, my story will change your life and will make you change the way you behave around other children. My story will reveal how in a country that prides itself on “Innocent until proven guilty” is living a lie.

My story is long and involves more than 2 years of events.  It will take you sometime to read, but I would encourage you to read every entry, every word.  Don’t make the mistake of letting a similar situation happen to you.  Learn from the mistakes I made.

Again, to read all about the accusation and the chronological events that followed, please visit my story page.  I’ll add new entries 1-2 times per week until I get caught up to current day and then continue the story as it continues to unfold.

Share your story

Again, my sole purpose in creating this site is to spread the word.  While I hope that you will believe my story, what is more important is that people around the world, and particularly in the US be made aware of the events that occurred in my life.  I can only begin to image that tens of thousands of other men and women in the US that have had a similar experience.  Sure, some may be genuinely guilty, I would suspect many others are not.

If you would like to share your story, please contact me.  I’ll add your story to the  “Share your story” section of the blog.

About the author

When I created this site, I debated about writing using my real name.  After considerable thought I have decided against that, purely for the safety of myself and my family.  Different people will react differently to my story, and my family has been through enough.  Believe me when I say that I am a real person and that everything on this blog did occur between November 2006 and now.  Here on Falsely Accused Dad, you can just call me Dad.

As I mentioned already, I am a husband to a beautiful wife that stood by me 100% through all of this.  Without her by my side I would have never made it.  We have been married for more than 10 years and she is truely the love of my life.  I am a also a father and we almost lost our adopted daughter as a result of this.

Outside of writing here on Falsely Accused Dad, I’m a manager for a fortune 500 company. I am also a Christian and have been a Christian for 18 years.  I believe that it was the grace of God alone that brought my family and I through the last 2 years.

Personal Testament

I have been a Christian since 1990 and was introduced to Christ and the significance of salvation by my wife (then my girlfriend). We had only been dating a short time when she informed me in a nice way that if I wasn’t going to attend church that she wasn’t sure how much of a future we had together. So I figured, I could stand an hour of church a week so to stay with her.

Little did I know that a year later I would learn about salvation and find the one thing I could never put my finger on, but knew I was missing in my life, faith. I have never looked back, and grow with God daily.
