I know there are the Mary Kaye Letourneaus and the other sickos out there.

That very thing happened to a guy I grew up with. An 8th grader accused him of sexual misconduct because she was displeased with a grade she received. By the time she recanted her bs story, his career was in ruins, since the incident was highly publicized in the Chicago area. He had already been promoted to vice principal and was to assume the position the following year. Of course, it never happened and he had to move to another state -- all because of some snotty little child.
