That’s so disgusting and disturbing. It should absolutely be criminal to make false accusations and those accusers should have to pay… even though that cannot make up for the damage they’ve done to their victims.

Totally agree. It’s honestly SCARY how many innocent people are accused and convicted of crimes… and it has an unbelievable and lasting impact on their lives. Frequently the damage can never be repaired. I’m pretty terrified of the unfairness and ineptitude of our legal system

Joel, if you are innocent I hope it can be proved and the accusers go to jail for a longtime. Have you contacted Innocence Project? Now in its 25th year fighting for criminal justice reform, the Innocence Project aims to exonerate those who have been falsely accused of crimes, including sex crimes.

Ii totally agree! The show was more about her and others stupidity when subjecting their innocent children to people they are obsessed with. I hope the grandma got custody!00

Even the sponsors were a bit s siddish of the show. Basically the show was all about ratings and money. Much of the show was a racist based of peoples opinion and it seems everyone has problems on that. Talk about this bias criticism on the state of abuse issues we all face when the issues is left undone. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/01/1153343725/dr-phil-final-season-phil-mcgraw

Now that the accuser was found to be a lair. Common sense dictates that he is innocent. He passed, she failed. If I was Matt I would sue everyone involved in his accusation. To say “ even if he is innocent… “ is the most unreasonable thing I have heard in a long time.

But couldn’t the “fear” of a false positive and the consequences that will likely follow be just as emotionally powerful as lying? It’s not possible to distinguish between the two, the powerful emotion produced by the “fear’ of deception the other the fear of being wrongly accused of deception.

It is usually during the post test interrogation where the polygrapher tells you the machine has detected deception, your lying to me, you’ll never be able to disprove it and one on probation will certainly suffer some kind of negative consequence, perhaps a lost privilege.

So the accuser was found not truthful when she took a lie test. The jury was obviously swayed either due to the lack of resources of the attorney. But the prosecution was duped or wanted to win. They owe an apology to Matt and should do all they can to exonerated him!! Otherwise, they are not for truth, but for the destruction of innocent men. Yes, MEN.
I know five men that were accused of molestation. One refused to take a plea deal and in the second trial the case was dismissed with 11-1 for not guilty in a tally prior to dismissal. Prosecutors took the word of an illegal underage girl who had substantial discipline problems in her high school in Mexico. Another man had a situation when the wife/mother recanted her story after he was found guilty and in jail. He was deported. She lied. Many people I know wanted to crucify him before there was verdict. Another man was accused, who I knew, and it came out he was falsely accused. He was never found guilty. Another man I knew very well, another lie by two other women. Never charged. Finally, there was a man I knew and he was convicted, and that was true. He did molest an underage girl. So the way I look at it, the people I have been around, one in five is guilty. And four out of five cases I am familiar women lied. Viciously lied for their own gain. In these particular cases the women that lie are the ones where there is an issue in their circumstance that they wanted changed for their own selfish benefit at the expense of others lives and freedom. Evil. I listened to Matt in Dr. Phil. I believed him after I saw he had taken a lie test. Then when I went to confirm Sara was lying, because of her responses to taking a lie test, I went to this website. Sure enough Sara was evidently lying based on lie test she took. This is the problem with people today, is that they jump to conclusions. And the worst the “alleged” crime they have been charge. The quicker they are to judge. The close friend who went through hell, he did not take a plea, but instead fought through two trials and his family was drained upwards of $70K. As far as I am concerned when I hear about molestation about people I am around, my first thought is the person is more likely innocent, at least until proven guilty. I hope Matt is getting the empathy he JUSTLY deserves and the prosecutor needs to prosecute Sara for lying under oath. Matt, your state may be one that allows for lie test results. Check it out online and proceed. Do it now if the statute of limitations has not run. Check that right away.
