Melvin Quinney exonerated for 1991 case where he was accused of indecency with a child and for being a Satanic Cult leader.– A San Antonio man wrongfully convicted in 1991 during the so-called Satanic Panic hysteria is now officially a free man.
The state exonerated Melvin Quinney of his conviction of indecency with a child back in February but Monday’s hearing made the exoneration official.Quinney’s conviction was vacated, and he would no longer have to register as a sex offender. Quinney was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released in 1999 and was then required to register as a sex offender his entire life.
During the ‘80s and ‘90s, multiple trials took place where individuals were accused of being in Satanic cults and being convicted of sexually abusing children. It was called “Satanic Panic.”
