Dublin, Jun. 7, 2007 (CWNews.com) - An Irish man has been convicted of making false allegations that a Catholic priest molested him.

After several hours of deliberation an Irish jury voted 10-2 to convict the man of making false statements to police, after viewing a videotape in which the man confessed that he had not been molested and apologized to the priest he had accused. The accuser later said that he had been pressured to retract the charges.

The name of the man making the false accusation was not made public, on a request from his legal counsel, who argued that the accuser should not be identified since the court had not released the name of the priest he accused.

The accused priest had been suspended from pastoral duty after the man charged that he had been molested in1981.

Answer 1

The media does not like what it can not control or understand. They have insufficient respect for people that have different value systems no matter how noble. It also bothers them when they can not bring every one down to their base level.
For example, I have heard serious commentators claim that everyone tries drugs. And if you say different that you must be a liar. I believe that just as many people never get interested in cigarettes most never get interested in smoking weeds. I don't want to over-generalize. There are good and bad people in the media, but they like to run in packs.

Answer 2

Because for every one that isn't guilty, there are dozens that are. When the Vatican applauds the fact that they are spending less money now; STILL IN THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! for molestation lawsuits, there is a big problem.

We could bring up hundreds of molestation cases. Give me a break.
