A Recent book published called The Witch hunt Narrative by a Prof. Cheit contends that most of cases in the 1980's involving ritual sexual abuse were not really witch hunts but dealt with real abuse. The author contends that the "narrative" of a witch hunt is at least partly wrong and that there was real sexual abuse.

It appears from looking at the book that it does indeed downplay the prosecutorial and other abuses involved in those cases, selectively reports evidence etc., and in effect bends over backwards to give the prosecutors etc., the benefit of the doubt.
