Saranac Lake, NY- Part time teacher, Michael J. Scaringe, is being charged with first degree rape of a 13 year old girl. Police haven’t released too many details, but the attack occurred a few days before Christmas in the Town of Harrietstown.
The victim, a regular at the town’s community center, told her parents about the incident, which led to to his capture.
To add insult to injury, Michael’s attorney has dismissed the reliability of his victim, telling one newspaper “Police only acted on a mere accusation by a 13-year-old individual.” The attorney also claims that Michael has no prior arrests, however many other newspapers have reported that in 1995, Michael, possibly under the name Josephson, was arrested for the molestation of a 14 year old student in Florida. He was acquitted on those charges when that attorney made a similar argument that the student had fabricated the story.
If Michael is convicted, he faces eight to twenty five years in prison. Is Michael just the innocent victim of repeated teenage angst? What are the chances that two girls, from completely different states, would both falsely accuse him of sexual crimes?
