Richard Lewis had been a youth therapist, foster carer and teacher
in a large city comprehensive school for over 20 years, but his
personal integrity was suddenly brought into question by the claims
of a former student 16 years ago. His dedicated life as a supporter
of delinquent and wayward teenagers was brought to a sudden halt,
where, at one point, suicide appeared to be the best way out. The
Accused is a harrowing autobiography of an innocent man, a personal
ordeal where it was felt that 'the system' presumes one is 'guilty
till proven innocent'. When a child abuse allegation is made, where
two people stand by irreconcilable testimonies, a strategy group of
professionals has to make a decision that has serious long-term
consequences. The Accused presents the voice of a victim subjected
to an uncorroborated disclosure. This book argues for a review of
current child protection procedures, for an examination of
stereotypical beliefs and assumptions centring of an enquiry, and
for the case to examine the social implications of making unfounded
allegations of abuse against professional personnel.
