Good for him and his family. What Lannigan went through at Centre Ridge was horrible. A spoiled little brat got mad that he stripped her of her school patrol title because she was abusing the authority it gave her. So she makes up a lie that he molested her. No witnesses, even with other kids being in the gym when the incident supposedly occurred. Lannigan had been employed at the school for over a decade, and students and fellow staff loved him. Yes, of course the thought of a child predator working with kids is appalling. However, he was being painted as guilty before charges were pressed and the trial even began. FCPS immediately sided with the brat and her shitty parents, the media picked up the story, and it turned into a circus.
This is why we have the whole "innocent until proven guilty" rule. Poor Lannigan was persecuted on the spot, and his name was dragged through the mud and his home and family life put under a microscope. Even after being found innocent of all charges, people are still talking shit. The brat lied, it was proven, and she still to this day won't apologize because her parents are insufferably egotistical. This was a witch hunt, everyone who chimed in without waiting for the facts should be ashamed of themselves. This man's life was pretty much ruined, very sad. Also, he still has not been compensated for all his legal fees the way he should have been. FCPS should be ashamed as well.
Good luck in Washington state, Mr.Lannigan. Hope you get the fresh start that you so deserve!

This case was a travesty from day one. The real criminals in this case were the sick little brat who falsely accused Lannigan, the overzealous Fairfax investigator who not only refused to properly investigate the accusation, but who actually threatened anyone who wouldn't support her preconceived notion of the facts that did/didn't take place, the Fairfax County school system, who not only immediately assumed that Lannigan was guilty, but even after the jury found him innocent (after only a few minutes), continued its witch hunt against Lannigan. The icing on the cake, for Lannigan was that he ultimately had to sue just to get some of his legal expenses back.
Never an apology from the school system, little bitch, nor any contrition from her self-absorbed parents.
I hope the girl grows up to go to college and get raped by a fraternity, and have no one believe her story...that would be poetic justice...
