Two good fathers in prison

Two more examples of a horrible miscarriage of justice

What happens when the "victim" of an alleged crime says that there was no crime and the person in prison for this non-crime is innocent? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if there's no evidence of a crime, the alleged victim says no crime was committed, and someone is in prison for this, that a great injustice has somehow happened and this innocent person should be released immediately. But of course, when someone is convicted of a "sex crime," no one is innocent -- especially fathers.

Today's sex crime witch hunters can't care less that there is no evidence of abuse or that a supposed "victim" states that no abuse has taken place. All that they need is for someone, anyone to make an accusation and point a finger. It's a business to them and their job is to produce victims and manufacture abusers. It's money in their pockets to find abuse in every American home.

The two cases featured here are ones that the witch hunters, feminists, and those who profit off any and all accusations, love: fathers accused of sexual assault against their daughters.

They know that no evidence is needed, and that it doesn't matter if the victim admits nothing happened. All that is needed is a pointing finger. In one of these cases, the judge would not allow the victim to testify on behalf of her dad and in the other, the daughter has recanted saying her mother and social workers forced her to lie in court.


Fred Denver Jr.'s nightmare started in 1987 when a nosy upstairs neighbor called police to report that she heard Mr. Denver raping his 4-1/2 year old daughter. His daughter denied that any abuse had taken place, but it did not matter, the upstairs neighbor had heard a rape, and that's all they needed. Besides, a 4-1/2 year old girl doesn't realize when she has been raped, she's too young to know her father's a monster!

Mr. Denver was arrested and his daughter subjected to intensive interrogations by Ohio State Social Service workers who badgered and harassed the little girl to lie and say her father molested her, but she stood firm refusing to go along. In the end, it would not matter that neither father no daughter would "confess," the State Social workers would later lie on the stand saying the daughter had given a full "confession."

Mr. Denver refused all plea bargain offers that would have released him from prison. He wished to prove his innocence of this horrid accession in court and clear his good name. Incredibly, the judge ruled that his daughter could not testify that he did not abuse her. Mr. Denver was convicted on mere hearsay evidence of a nosy neighbor and the lies of State Social workers. He was sentenced to serve 25 years in prison.

His daughter, Kristen, is still trying to tell people the truth and get her dad out of prison.


In an equally bizarre and unjust conviction, Robert Watson rots in a Marquette prison in Michigan with a 50 year prison term on the word of a vengeful ex-wife.

Like Mr. Denver, Mr. Watson's daughter is advocating his release saying that absolutely no abuse took place and has signed affidavits that state her father is innocent.

Mr. Watson's nightmare started after he divorced his first wife. He remarried, was given custody of his daughter, had a son with his new wife, and was doing quite well. Years later, his first wife in an attempt to ruin his new and happy life accused him of molesting their daughter.

The accusation was all it took. State social workers stepped in and began their tirade of intimidation, coercion, and lies on Mr. Watson's little girl, Serena. After seven months of harassment his scared little girl gave up and agreed to go along. The judge ruled that the trial could begin now that the brain-washing was complete.

Mr. Watson was routinely beaten by jail guards attempting to force a "confession." One day before his trial was to begin he was beaten so badly he was unconscious for an entire day. That same day he was to meet his new court-appointed attorney, who would have but one day to prepare the defense.

Mr. Watson quickly lost his "fair" trial, and was slapped with a 50 year prison term. His daughter has since recanted, says her father is innocent, and that her mother and state social workers made her lie. Mr. Watson is now on his tenth year in prison for a crime that he not only did not commit, but that never happened.

I urge all readers to write these two innocent men and show their support. This nightmare can happen to any father until sex crimes hysteria has ended. I will be released from prison in a few years, but these two good fathers may never be reunited with their families.
