  • September 17, 2012

Molestation is a sensitive topic that has destroyed relationships, shattered families, and ruined lives. In The Steve Wilkos Show season 6 episode 1, titled Molestation: Guilty Or Innocent, Steve tackles this issue head-on as he invites guests to address allegations of molestation made against them.

The audience is introduced to a distraught mother, Angie, who claims that her ex-boyfriend molested their three-year-old daughter. Angie says she became suspicious when her child began feeling uncomfortable around the accused. She also claims that her daughter started wetting her bed and having nightmares, which led her to believe something was wrong. Angie confronted her ex-boyfriend about her suspicions, but he denied everything. However, the mother remained unconvinced and appealed to Steve to help her get to the truth.

The accused ex-boyfriend, Mark, is brought to the studio to respond to the allegations. He is calm and collected as he tells Steve and the audience that he is innocent. Mark claims that Angie is making up the allegations to get back at him for breaking up with her. He says that Angie is a bitter woman who is using their daughter as a pawn in her vendetta against him.

Steve then introduces a child behavior expert to shed light on the issue. The expert explains what signs parents should look out for when they suspect molestation and how parents can protect their children.

The tension in the studio reaches a climax when Angie's daughter is brought in to testify. The little girl is accompanied by her grandmother and is hesitant to speak at first, but with proper coaxing from her family and Steve, she eventually opens up. The child's testimony leaves everyone in the audience in tears, and it becomes clear that she's been through a lot.

In the end, Steve and his team administer a lie detector test to Mark to determine the truth. The results leave everyone shell-shocked, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger as viewers are left wondering what will happen next.

Overall, Molestation: Guilty Or Innocent is a compelling and thought-provoking episode that delves into a sensitive issue. Steve's empathy and his ability to create a safe space for his guests to share their stories is evident throughout the episode. Ultimately, this is a must-watch episode for anyone who wants to understand the gravity of sexual abuse and how it can impact the lives of both children and adults.
