Can you trust THEM?

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I just wana apologize to those who really HAVE been affected by this sometime in their life.

Last year a really shocking story came to me... one of my high school teachers was accused of sexual harassment. I was really hurt by this. I never had him as a teacher, but all the students knew him well, and my brother who is 10 years older than me knew him also. There were always jokes made about how he would give girls As if they wore short skirts. They were jokes tho, nothing serious. He was the kinda teacher you went to and sat down and talked to. My friends that go to UMD with me were upset by this also. Riverview is a very very small city, and it was definately the talk of the town... besides it making Breaking News on television stations.

The story was that this girl was mad because the teacher sent her boyfriend to the office for acting rowdy in class. This teacher hardly EVER sent students to the office, so it musta been out of hand. So she goes and says that the teacher touched her. All of a sudden all these accusations come up. Then I see this girl (that I know who is NOT very trustworthy) interviewd on the news saying that girls were always warned to walk with a book in front of their chest when around the teacher. I was like the school gossip girl for 4 years... I never ONCE heard that.

Anyways he's goes to court and is found INNOCENT! Everyone is happy cuz they knew this girl was full of shit. But... the teacher, even tho retired, is not allowed in or near the school, and is pretty much ruined for life.

My friend just told me a story of how he went to church today and found out that his priest that he's known since grade school is being accused of sexual things from way back in the day, so now he was granted Senior Priest status. My friend went on a ski trip in high school and the priest never did anything of the such. And another lady who was just interviewed on the news said all types of things that just don't add up.

So what my point is... how can the public trust some of the accusations that are coming out? It's like everyone is goin sue happy. The girl from my high school was way trashy (I'm talkin like whole family involved in not so nice things), and this lady I just saw on the news is pretty trashy (my friend was also sittin next to her). It kinda seems like some of these not so lucky people are making these accusations in attempt to get some money. It's kinda starting to make me sick.
