Author: Has a Child Been Molested?
Patrick Clancy is the co-author of the authoritative and well-cited book, “Has a Child Been Molested?” First published in 1997, this landmark work reveals how caring and intelligent people, including police officers, social workers, child therapists, teachers, and even parents, may unwittingly create false accusations of sexual abuse. It explores and debunks the multiple junk science “syndromes” that have formed the basis for the erroneous medical and law enforcement testimony that has led to so many false accusations against and convictions of innocent people.
Countering “Groupthink”
Mr. Clancy observes, “After decades of groupthink “believe the victim” movements, a fair trial is practically impossible, especially on sex crime charges. Mr. Clancy explains that this is because “the system is rigged against the accused by generations of brainwashing by the media powered by “believe the victim” (from the “Women’s Movement of the 1960’s to today’s “Me-Too Movement”) advocacy groups and false syndrome proponents (“rape syndrome,” “child sexual abuse accommodation syndrome,” and “recovered memory syndrome”). Prosecutors hire junk science experts to testify regarding these so-called syndromes to explain away delays in reporting and inconsistency in the testimony of accusers as “myths” as courts unbelievably allow. Unfair laws have made it very difficult to win acquittals and long prison terms for convictions.

Mr. Clancy has worked tirelessly countering these groupthink movements, leading to a system in which a criminal defendant can no longer receive a fair trial.
