Distinguishing Between True And False Allegations Of
Child Sexual Abuse In Divorce Cases: Responding To Criminal Charges. The vast majority of child
abuse allegations in divorce and custody proceedings are untrue (96% - Underwager). This
147-page document, prepared by noted attorney Charles Bridges of St. Louis, describes in
detail the legal principles, citations, and methodology for revealing false allegations
and defending you. Transcripts from a winning case are discussed in detail. This
document is a must for any trial attorney who is inexperienced in handling this style of
case. Those who live in outlying areas, where it is impossible to find an attorney who
knows how to handle this kind of case, should give this to your attorney right away so he
can do his homework!

Mary D.,
Petitioner v. HONORABLE CLARENCE WATT JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF PUTNAM COUNTY AND
GEORGE D., RESPONDENTS, [190 W. Va. 34, ; 438 S.E. 2nd 521; 1992 W. Va. LEXIS 76]. In a candid dissenting
opinion, Supreme Court Justice Workman wrote: "We now have a system in which a female
parent need only scream child abuse in a loud voice to keep the male parent from seeing a
child. Indeed, sexual abuse these days seems to arouse all the hysteria that was
associated with witchcraft in yesteryear. In fact, it has even spawned a
witch-huntingesque cottage industry, to-wit badly trained, ideological rape trauma
experts, rape counselors, bachelor level pseudo-psychologists, social activists, and other
assorted species of Jacklegs. I am a firm believer that the best interests of the child
are paramount, but that does not mean never allowing a father to see his children when the
evidence preponderates on his behalf even though, like an accused witch, he cannot clear
himself beyond any shadow of a doubt. Continuous yelling and screaming of an accusation
does not make that accusation any more true."
