I was on a child molestation jury last year. On that case it was the word of a 7 year old girl. No other evidence, none. It was difficult for me to convict this man, her father, and send him to prison on a child's testimony. Fortunately she was very believable and her story never strayed in two days of testimony. It she had made one mistake, I doubt we would have convicted. I can see how if there was reasonable doubt that his accusers were not telling the truth that they would aquit him.

I never heard anyone say he performing sexual acts with these boys. Only that he gave them alcohol, showed them girly mags, slept in the same bed with them, and maybe was naked in their presence. Not that that's acceptable behavior, but there are much worse things that people are doing to kids, like the father raping his 7 year old daugter in the case I was on. I think the prosecuter got overzealous with trying to get too many counts against him and it backfired.
