In 1984, seven adults connected to the McMartin Preschool in California were tried for child sexual abuse. Children from the school told police that they had been taken into secret catacombs beneath the school and abused. After years of court battles, the accused were exonerated. A judge ruled that the children's testimony lacked all credibility.
