"One Jail's Tale: In The Deep South rape charges unearth a system in disarray"
http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/politics/comments.php?id=5957_0_41_0_C
"Included were complaints by two juvenile male prisoners who said they had been sexually molested while under the foster care of Frank Melton, a local television station owner."
"Melton, who received an anonymous copy of the same report in the mail, denied the allegations, and said none of more than two dozen other foster charges had ever accused him of improper behavior. He said the charges were raised by police only after he had broadcast editorials criticizing the police chief for mishandling a drug investigation."
"Both of those complainants have since been murdered in what
appear to be drug-related shootings."
