In the U.S. legal system, all accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This chart is based generally on allegations reported publicly in the media or publicly filed in the courts. Forester Haynie does not confirm the accuracy of any actual allegation, and this chart is not a representation of the legal case history of an individual. Reasonable efforts have been made to ensure accuracy.
This is a terrible thing to have happen to anyone. The worst part is that you trust your Priest or Sister to be an extension or channel to God, and to have that trust broken or damaged is devastating. This will affect a person for their entire life. I would also like to know the people on the list that were listed as accused, will this be updated if they are cleared or convicted//sued ?
