Five young girls testified that Dennis Creason, co-founder of Shawnee’s Oaklawn Christian School, touched them inappropriately.
A Kansas jury has acquitted a Christian school leader accused of sexually abusing young girls in his care.
Creason’s defense lawyers argued that the stories of the alleged victims and their parents were not consistent, saying that the parents had played a game of “telephone” with their kids in which details of the allegations had changed, Fox4 reported. But prosecutors argued that the five young girls who testified were afraid of Creason and had no reason to fabricate the allegations.
Studies have shown that it’s very uncommon for people to lie about sexual assault. Only about 4%-8% of child sexual abuse reports are fabricated, according to the child sexual abuse prevention group Darkness to Light.
