Men Convicted of Rape Fight for Release
Four men from Houston, Texas who were charged and imprisoned nearly 25 years ago for rape are still fighting to be released.
The long term prison sentence was the result of accusations that the four men had gang raped a six-year-old girl.
Attorneys Request New Trial
Last week, attorneys for the men filed a lawsuit demanding the release of the men, who protest their innocence, and have requested a new trial.
However, the only current glitch in the case is that the victim is now claiming the rape never happened.
“It’s a lie,” says Johnny Edwards, one of the convicted man’s brothers. “It’s a lie. Bottom line, it’s a lie.”
Men Stand Accused
Donald Thompson was one of four men convicted of gang-raping a six-year-old girl at a birthday party for her father.
The girl’s father was also convicted of being a part of the rape.
The victim, who is now 30, recently confessed on audio tape that the four men, including her father, never assaulted her.
Two of the convicted men were released on parole last year; but when they refused to admit to any wrongdoing in counseling, they were sent back.
Now, the families of these men are fighting aggressively to have them released from prison after the tape acknowledging their innocence was made public.
