After his trial, I started to do extensive research on child sexual assault, Parental Alienation, Sexual Assault In Divorce, and false accusations. I, like many others, was unaware about people actually convincing their children they have been abused when in reality they have not. That was until all this happened to us. I even read one story where a mother used tampons to simulate sexual trauma in her own daughter.
Charles and Janet were together for five years. During that time, Janet would leave Charles to babysit while she went out partying. I have since found cards she would send to him when he was working out of state. She writes that she misses having him around. Not that she loves him, but that she misses getting her breaks from the kids. After he moved out, he went to Oklahoma for a few months. He came back for his brothers funeral and Janet showed up. She told him she'd kick her current boyfriend out if he'd move back to Texas. Well, he moved back, she never kicked her boyfriend out but she continued to call Charles to meet somewhere; sometimes at her own home when her current boyfriend was at work.
Charles would get his daughter whenever he could. Never on a regular basis. There were times when he was supposed to get her he would plan to do something with her, like take her to a rodeo, and Janet would refuse to let him have her. She would use the excuse that he was "putting her life at risk." She would tell him who he could and could not have his own daughter around. She would not allow him to have her if she knew he was going to go somewhere with another woman. Over half of his paycheck went to Janet for child support. He never complained even when he was refused visitation of his daughter. He's just that type of person. He takes everything with a grain of salt.
Then he started dating me. That's when all hell broke loose. It was a mere couple weeks from the time that a friend of Janets told her she had seen him with me that the report of child abuse was made. A few days after she'd made the report, she came to my place of work and tried convincing me not to want to see him. I specifically remember her saying, "He's rude, crude, and the father of my daughter." Though she never mentioned anything about the accusations she had made against him. I have yet to find a rude bone in the boys body. He goes out of his way to help people. He'd give you his last dollar if he thought you needed it.
Charles loves his daughter very much. This whole ordeal is tearing him up. He was so excited about me getting to meet her when we became an official couple. It killed him inside when she got on the stand and said he was "the man who messed with my tee-tee" and that Janets new boyfriend was "daddy." Yes, in less than a years time, Charles was no longer her "daddy." This from a five year old child who would cry if she couldn't call Charles and tell him "good night."
I have never gotten to meet his daughter in person. I hope some day that I will. However, I know the facts about how the system works. Meeting her will most likely not be in my near future. Getting to have a wedding and children of my own are also things I will not get to do anytime soon, if ever. This is because we cannot afford a half million dollars to get the defense he needs to prove his innocence.
I miss him so much. I am stressing myself out trying to do anything to find something or someone that can/will help him. He doesn't deserve what is being done to him. No one does. He has absolutely no criminal background. The only run-in he's ever had with the police was a speeding ticket. I am unaware of any enemies he may have (other than Janet) as he is such an easy person to get along with. People come up all the time and give condolences and say they know he didn't do it. Unfortunately, none of these people are in a position to effective help.
