Free an innocent man

Help me bring an innocent man home to his family. Please, please, please take the time to hear this cry of help.

Why is this important?

My petition is to bring my husband home a free man. He was wrongfully convicted. In 2009 our family was going on vacation to Galveston, Texas to spend some time with our best friends. My best friends' daughter and our daughter were best friends for 10 years. Their daughter practically lived with us as her parents worked all the time. We took her everywhere with us, including on vacation. Two weeks before we went on vacation, she shared with my husband and me that she had been messing around with a guy in the back of his pickup truck. She was about to have her very first womanly check up and knew that her parents could very well be about to find out she was no longer a virgin. We were gone on vacation for a little over a week. When we returned home she told her parents that my husband sexually assaulted her. We went to trial in August 2012. During the trial she was caught in several lies. She admitted that during the time she made these accusations she was having a consensual sexual relationship with a 35 year old man. Keep in mind she was only 14. She told the court that the only thing she slept in was a tank top and her panties. We produced a photo into evidence that was time stamped and dated and it was her sleeping in a T-shirt with a tank top under it and shorts. So while I now have 4 children at home to raise, she is out partying and drinking. We have always been good people. We just do not understand how something like this could have happened to us. Please, I beg of you to take the time to help me bring my husband home to us. He was incarcerated August 28, 2012. If you have any questions about any if this, including the case, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you in advance.
