The 15 year-old alleged victim who's father went to prison after being convicted of molesting her says he didn't do it.

The girl testified Thursday at the N.C. Innocence Commission hearing where 42 year old former Plymouth police officer Henry Reeves is trying to clear his name.

This is the first case in the nation to ever go before a three judge panel. Reeves was accused and convicted of molesting his then 6 year-old daughter back in 2001. Reeves, who has since served his sentence, maintains his innocence.

All three judges must unanimously agree that Reeves was not guilty for him to be exonerated.

To Concerned Citizen I disagree, while I'm sure there are rare instances of an innocent person taking a plea deal I don't believe there are more than a few innocent people in prison. Reeves spent just under two years in prison, and unless the information from the Pitt County DA's office is flawed he did enter a plea of No Contest. Certainly it's possible he was falsely accused, but so far there has been nothing posted here that would lead me to believe that.
