"The longest and costliest trial in U.S. history, the McMartin child sexual molestation case, finally came to a close in 1990, seven years after the first charges were filed" (from chapter one). During those years, children were forced to undergo medical and psychological examinations and the accused were jailed and vilified in the press despite no adult witnesses or any conclusive evidence to substantiate the molestation. This volume details the events of this case and discusses issues such as the legal status of young children and the legitimacy of legal participation by the therapeutic and rehabilitative industries.
