Today, my 28-year nightmare is finally over. The court's decision to reverse my wrongful conviction is not just a victory for me, but also a testament to the power of unwavering support. I am eternally grateful to my incredible family, the tireless legal team, and every supporter who stood by me and never lost faith.

Victor Wayne Cooper, 69, lived in Novato when the crimes occurred. He allegedly molested a 6-year-old Novato girl, the daughter of an acquaintance, over a five-month period. The crimes were revealed after a doctor found that the girl had contracted a venereal disease. Cooper was convicted of four counts of lewd acts against the girl. A judge sentenced him to 60 years to life in prison. Cooper had two prior rape convictions.
