Accuser may have lied in sex crimes case says attorney
Defense attorney James Rumsey contends one accuser previously made false sexual abuse claims and seeks records from child protective agencies to learn why two girls aged 14 to 16 were in shelter care. He questions past psychological issues and potential false allegations as part of a possible defense for the 47-year-old Lawrence man. The hearing addressed accessing a Pawnee County child in need of care case file for the other alleged victim.
