Has anything been done about the Step -Mother & her bathing/shaving activities with Tonya's daughter? Has CPS investigated that? That to me seems to be the only evidence of abuse presented at trial and Id hope it'd be pursued!

According to William L. Anderson, who followed this case diligently because of his interest in prosecutorial misconduct, he says that the showering incident was what started this whole 'witch hunt' (my words).

You can read about it here.

KK, I assume you are speaking of the step mom, Mrs henke, because Tonya was found innocent of all charges by a jury of her peers so she cannot receive probation. Has Ms. Henke been charged with something that we do not know about? I don't intend to sound confrontational but am curious about the implication of your post!

The SM has exposed her step-daughter to two of the 'three S's' per reports....(.'shizz, shower and shave)! Only the 'shizzing' part isn't mentioned in court documents. Who's to know.....

I just wonder to whom you refer in your post? TIA.

Tonya Craft, the former North Georgia kindergarten teacher who was acquitted of 22 counts of child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated child molestation, will be hosting a talk show on WGOW-FM 102.3 beginning Sept. 7, the station announced Thursday.

The show will be called “The Truth of the Matter” and will air every other Tuesday from 3 to 4 p.m. The show will be produced by Kevin West and will feature Craft talking with callers and with studio and call-in guests discussing criminal cases, civil cases and other topics dealing with the legal system, he said.

A judge has warned Tonya Craft that she has one more chance to get the paperwork right on her $25 million lawsuit.

U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy has told Craft and her legal team to revise the lawsuit twice and he said this is it.

“The court will grant no other opportunities to replead the second amended complaint,” Murphy said in his order, filed on Sept. 15.

The third version of Craft’s lawsuit was filed in North Georgia federal court late Thursday night.

“We feel like we’ve satisfied the judge’s order and, if in fact we haven’t, we’re not sure what else we can do,” said Cary King, one of Craft’s attorneys.

The suit was originally filed in May, a month after Craft, a former Chickamauga Elementary School teacher, was acquitted by a Catoosa County jury on 22 counts of child molestation.

In the suit, Craft claims that her accusers, which include her ex-husband and the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office, lied under oath during her trial and falsely imprisoned her without any evidence.

She also claims the three girls who accused her — one of whom is her daughter — were manipulated to say Craft had molested them.

But the complaints in the original lawsuit, which includes 15 defendants, did not have enough specific details, Murphy said in his first order, issued in early July.

The lawsuit was rewritten and refiled later in July. But motions flooded in from the defendants, saying the suit didn’t give details that support Craft’s allegations, court documents show.

In response, the judge filed another order, stating the suit needed to be more “simple” and “concise” and each claim needed to be supported with a fact.

“We thought we had corrected what Judge Murphy wanted us to correct, but he thought it needed to be more specific,” King said.

Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers said he couldn’t comment on the case except to say “we still feel the claims in this lawsuit are unjustified.”

I wonder if this judge is by any chance friends with some of the people listed in lawsuit?
 
Testimony began Tuesday morning in Hamilton County Circuit Court in the case in which Tonya Craft is trying to regain custody of her two children by a marriage to Joal Henke. The children were taken from the former Chickamauga Elementary School teacher and given to the father after she was charged with multiple counts of child molestation in 2008.

Joal henke is not a nice man, IMO! I can't beleive he wouldn't allow his children to visit their maternal grandparents. Oh but he can't remember why! What a tiny, petty little tool he is! MOO

One of these days the children will act out against him and he will see the error in his vindictive ways. I hope it is not too late. He has alot of growing up to do IMO!

Those poor kids!

Tonya Craft's five-week trial on child molestation charges dredged up sordid, intimate details about her and her ex-husband's private lives, but some witnesses testifying in the couple's custody case say all the nastiness has not affected their children.

Read the comments people have written. Sometimes I find them more entertaining than the articles.

Thank God she is no longer before the crooks in Catoosa County, and is before a female judge in Hammiton County.

Tsunami: Thanks for all the updates! The video attached to one of the links above, with the parents and stepparents together explaining the settlement is enlightening. It was nice to watch. Seems they are getting along much better. I hope it lasts!
