Teacher Accused of Molestation Learns Tragic Lesson

Teacher Accused of Molestation Learns Tragic Lesson
At a time when good teachers are in such short supply because of low pay and aggressive students, it is sad when one such good teacher, namely Tonya Craft, is forced out because of false accusations of sexual molestation. She's the author of the new memoir, Accused: My Fight for Truth, Justice and the Strength to Forgive. Once a well-respected kindergarten teacher and loving mother, Tonya's world turned upside-down when three little girls (including one of her own), were manipulated into accusing her of molestation. She was presumed guilty until her trial finally acquitted her of all 22 counts - but not before she lost her home, career, reputation, savings and most importantly, her two children. Hear how grown 'mean girls', ex-husbands, investigators too ready to jump to conclusions, and the justice system almost locked an innocent woman away. Now pursuing a law degree, Tanya passionately helps others trapped in similar situations.
