Accused Child Molesters Invest $7 Million in PR

Accused child molesters invested millions in their false memory PR campaign of the 1990s.  Statements such as “sex abuse hysteria,” “misguided therapists,” and “an epidemic of false accusations” appeared in three hundred articles by 1995.  

Part 1 of  False Memories – The Deception explains how the author was taught to “forget it” as a child, what caused her to recall the abuse as an adult and how she successfully sued her parents for damages.  Following the lawsuit, Crook read the deposition of her parents’ false memory expert, Elizabeth Loftus, PhD.  She learned that the expert had dropped the first six subjects from her famous lost in a mall study supporting false memory claims.  The deposition led her along a path to other documents showing the expert had misrepresented, and then monetized her research.  The media neglected to report that the mall study did not represent what a therapist might tell a client.

As the PR campaign continued, adults molested as children were told by friends and family members, “I read about false memories like yours.”  Part 2 describes the organization of the parents’ remarkably successful PR campaign as they gaslighted, harassed and threatened anyone who challenged their claims.  

Today, false memory claims are found in courtrooms, psychology textbooks and the popular press. Meanwhile, data show that over 40 million adults in the U.S. were molested as children.

False Memories - The Deception is recommended for survivors, therapists, attorneys and journalists.

Lynn Crook earned a BA in French, and an MEd in educational psychology at the University of Washington.  She served as community educator and director for a sexual assault agency in southeastern Washington. In 1991 she sued her parents for damages after recovering memories of childhood sexual abuse by her father.  Following a month-long trial in 1994, the judge ruled in her favor at a time when 85% of the popular press was telling us that adults’ accusations of childhood sexual abuse are false memories.   She hopes that her book will encourage the public to believe adults’ incest allegations.       http://lynncrook.com/about.html
