SuitSnob 19 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 In these cases, I do believe the person is innocent until proven guilty. Unless it is something like he lured a child into a car and drove off into the woods or something blatant like that. But frequently in these cases (especially when the child is that young and can be manipulated) the kid can be impressionable and made to make a general claim (this happens a lot in divorce/ child custody proceedings). Until some verifiable evidence appears, I say reserve judgment....it is just easy to throw an accusation of sexual harassment or molestation at people to make them an instant pariah. If he is truly guilty however-throw the book at him! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6823-wnyws-charles-leaf-arrested/#findComment-62017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 33 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Sorry, SuitSnob, but apparently this isn't the first time Leaf has done this. His own sister reports a history of abuse: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/10/10/2010-10-10_fox_perv_abused_kin_says_sister.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6823-wnyws-charles-leaf-arrested/#findComment-62098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 OK...I just crossed from Innocent Until Proven Guilty to Most Likely Guilty. The problem is, so many people use this kind of thing a a weapon that it is becoming a Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario. Remember when Charles Perez got accused two years ago by his ex BF and everyone wanted to railroad him, and then when the facts came out it became clear the guy was only after money and vengeance?

Giacomo Siffredi 4 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Former WNYW reporter Charles Leaf, now a 44 year old father of two, has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl and of possessing child pornography on his home computer in Wyckoff, NJ. A jury in Hackensack, NJ. convicted him on all charges: aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, child endangerment, possession of child pornography and tampering with evidence. The most serious charge of aggravated sexual assault — in a word: rape — carries up to 20 years in prison, followed by lifelong parole as a Megan’s Law offender. Superior Court Judge James J. Guida revoked Leaf’s bail over the protests of defense attorney Brian Neary :bang: , and set sentencing for June 6, 2014. Bergen County Sheriff’s officers then handcuffed Leaf and took him to the Bergen County Jail. Leaf's parting words to his wife? “Tell the kids I love them!" :ack: http://cliffviewpilot.com/charles-leaf-to-wife-tell-the-kids-i-love-them-after-child-sex-assault-conviction/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/6823-wnyws-charles-leaf-arrested/#findComment-98765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
