In 2005, Victor Cuevas was falsely accused of raping a thirteen-year-old girl.
Even though he was acquitted of all charges three years later, his life has never been the same. In this book, he looks back at the fight he waged to clear his name.
Athough he did not know it at the time, the author’s nightmare began Aug. 23, 2005, when he visited a resort for a relaxing overnight getaway with his girlfriend. Five weeks later, he was arrested after a thirteen-year-old girl claimed he took her to the same resort during the same timeframe and sexually assaulted her.
The police marched into the middle school where he worked and escorted him out of the building in handcuffs—in front of students, peers, and the news media. They didn’t tell him what he had allegedly done wrong.
In this account, the author reveals how teenage angst between two people turned into a false accusation of rape. He also shares a stark account of what happens when you’ve been accused of a sex crime—even after a jury of peers declares you to be innocent.
