Woman Claims She Lied As A Child About Mom’s Boyfriend Abusing Her, And Now He’s Serving Life In Prison
When Alyssa was five years old, her mother’s boyfriend of 10 months, John Kinsel, moved into their home. “I never liked John. He was strict. I wanted him gone. I wanted him out of our lives because he made our lives miserable,” Alyssa says. She says that in fourth grade, after learning about “stranger danger” in school, she came home and told her mom that John had touched her inappropriately. “I was taught that the police would come. He would be gone, and he would be out of our lives," Alyssa says. John was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based on Alyssa’s court testimony. However, nine years later, 18-year-old Alyssa walked into the District Attorney’s office and said she wanted to recant her testimony. In her first on-camera interview, Alyssa tells her story.
