Before I give the update let me state MY polygraph policy...DON'T TAKE A POLYGRAPH!

As I said in my previous posts, I was falsely accused of something terrible..."touching" a child inappropriately.

The investigators on the case asked me to take a polygraph...which I agreed to do.  Then I found this site and read about false positives and biased examiners and "coin-flip chance" and decided NOT to take the polygraph.

The investigation went on for many months...a search warrant was served and my computers and cameras and CDs and computer games and printers and scanners were all removed from my home (and I still have not recovered them).

Fliers were posted in my neighborhood on several occasions with MY FULL NAME and ADDRESS on them...identifying me as an "accused child molester".

My children were interviewed by DCFS and State's Attorney investigators.  During the interviews the investigators said to my children "we just want to stop whoever is hurting you...tell me about your father".

I was marked as a pariah in the town I live in...except for my immediate neighbors who have known me for years and stood by me throughout this ordeal.

My wife's friends ostracized her after their children were interviewed.  I was fired from my job when the investigators showed up to copy the harddrive of my computer.  I couldn't sleep for 6 months...lost 30 pounds...had to MOVE my family out of the town we lived in.

Thank God my wife stood by me through the entire investigation.  Thoughts of suicide were never far from my mind, but were quickly chased away by the image of my children growing up without a father.

Finally the investigation concluded.  It was determined that my children lived in a loving and secure home, free of any deviant behavior.

It was determined that the accusations by the "victim" (or "victims" as I heard from random people in the streets) were unfounded.

Never once did any investigator tell me specifically what I was accused of or who was accusing me!  I lost my life savings to an attorney and to a move that I did not want.

My attorney...after assessing my demeanor in our meetings (I was a nervous wreck...often very emotional)...was adamant that had I taken the polygraph I would have failed and would have been arrested and thrown in prison.  He put my chances of passing at 0% regardless of my veracity during the "test".

So now I have moved my wife and family away from our hometown.  I get a fresh start so-to-speak.  But I am scarred...emotionally and psychologically.  But I am educated.  Educated about polygraphy...the legal system...false accusations....etc.

And I will never stop telling the people I meet about the lie behind the lie detector.

Railroaded,

Best of luck in yours and your family's future.  Hopefully time will help to lessen the pain which has been incurred.  I echo the statements above as written by Twoblock.

Good luck and best wishes.

Railroaded lies - he knows that he won't proceed w/ a suit because he doesn't want the attention on him a third time. Wonder if he'll tell the whole story and share the truth - polygraphs suck but liars suck harder!

I'm not an attorney, but I really think that you should have tape recorded everything that you possibly could have audio recorded.  If your allegations are true, as I'm sure that they are, then you definitely would have had a big lawsuit.  Your due process rights were violated with no regard to the Constitution.  It is important to mention that you had to have been accused of something, at a specific time(s), date(s) or location(s).  The time for providing a defense to such charges are not at a polygraph examination.

ALL...I edited this message because I said a few things that maybe I shouldn't have.  The admin pointed out to me that maybe I was being a little paranoid and I apologize to Dlr4lyfe for anything I might have said or implied that was less than considerate.

No offense but I don't care to email anyone regarding my situation...

I would be more than happy to share my thoughts and ideas with you, but certainly not via email.

If you are going through what I have experienced then I am sorry...no innocent man deserves this treatment.  My suggestion to you would be to retain a GOOD lawyer and move away from the mess.  But do not flee...that is a strong indicator of guilt.  In my case I moved my family and stayed in my house alone for months until the prosecutor specifically stated that there would be no charges.  Then I got the hell out of there.
