This book recalls the hysteria that accompanied the child sex-abuse witch-hunts of the 1980s and 1990s. It is at once a truly frightening and at the same time inspiring book, documenting how citizens, who had become targets of the justice system in which they had so much faith, came to comprehend that their lives could be destroyed, that they could be sent to prison for years - even decades. This book shows the complicity of the courts, their hypocrisy and indifference to the claims of justice, but also the courage of those willing to challenge the runaway prosecutors and the strength of those who have endured their depredations.
