Book excerpt: Every adult who works with children, lives on the edge of a nightmare. That nightmare arrived for me the day I was falsely accused of a crime worse than murder: the sexual assault of a student. What was done to me over the next four years destroyed not only my teaching career, but every vestige of the world I knew. As the horror expanded, I became intimately aware of how police and prosecutors can coerce witnesses, manipulate evidence, or ignore evidence entirely if it doesn't fit their agenda. What happened to me has happened and will continue to happen to others, despite the fact that we cannot protect children by condemning innocent people or by creating victims where none exist. It was a life-defining experience that forced me to face the fact that, despite my innocence, I had made my own contribution to the nightmare. Innocence Isn't Enough is the true story of a journey into the purgatory of false accusation and the darkness of the legal system. It is the story of how I survived that terrible journey and what I learned that might help prevent the horror from happening to someone else.
