Sadly the genie is out of the bottle re: reputation and I'm sorry for that.
I was an expert witness in several counties in CAN (Child abuse and Neglect).
What we know about this case is...almost nothing.

We know the SO thought an arrest should be made, and possibly the SAO (state atty) was consulted with evidence prior to the arrest given recognizance of the alleged abuser.

That said, I've seen, as have we all, every sort of manipulation of so-called truth to the point that I am so cynical that my motto is "Justice is a joke and the truth is a lie"...(not counting The Truth and the Way)
I wish it were otherwise, but I think one is just as likely to be falsely accused as to get away with murder. Happens all the time.
