The Steve Wilkos Show Season 6 Episode 83 She's A Liar, I'm Not A Molester

  • February 18, 2013

On this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show, titled "She's A Liar, I'm Not A Molester," a man named John comes on the show to clear his name after being accused of sexually abusing a young girl. John proclaims his innocence and claims the girl is lying, but her mother, Katie, insists that John is guilty.

Steve starts the show by asking Katie why she believes John is a molester. Katie shares that her daughter, who is too young to come on the show, told her that John touched her inappropriately on multiple occasions. Katie says she believes her daughter and that John is lying about what happened.

John denies the allegations and says he has no idea why the girl would make up such a story. He insists that he has never touched her inappropriately and that he would never do anything to harm a child. Steve asks John if he has any idea why the girl would make up such a story, but John can't think of any reason why she would do so.

Steve brings out a child protective services caseworker, who has been investigating the allegations against John. She shares that there is no evidence to support the accusations against him, but also that there is no evidence to prove he is innocent. The caseworker says the investigation is ongoing and that they are still trying to determine what happened.

Steve then brings out the girl's grandmother, who tells a different story than Katie. She says that she believes John did touch her granddaughter inappropriately, but that the girl only told her about one incident. The grandmother says that she confronted John about it and that he denied it, but that she still thinks he is guilty.

Steve tries to get to the bottom of what happened by talking to the girl's mother, grandmother, and the caseworker, but none of them are able to provide any concrete evidence to support their claims. Steve then turns to John and asks him if he would be willing to take a lie detector test to prove his innocence. John agrees to take the test, and Steve sends him off to do so while the rest of the group discusses what they think will be the outcome.

When John comes back from taking the test, Steve reveals the results. Without giving anything away, the results of the test are unexpected and leave both John and Katie surprised. The rest of the group weighs in on what they think the results mean and what should happen next.

In the end, Steve gives John and Katie the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with each other before they leave the show. The conversation is emotional and gives both parties the chance to share their feelings and try to come to some sort of understanding.

Overall, this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show is a tense and emotional look at a serious accusation and the impact it can have on families and relationships. The focus on the investigation and the use of a lie detector test add a level of drama to the show, but the real heart of the episode is the conversations between the family members and the difficult questions they must grapple with.
