Westerville, Ohio -- Wednesday, January 22, 2020
Holding old documents from the Head Start case, Tom Cantu poses for a portrait in his home outside of Columbus, Ohio. Now retired, Cantu was a detective in the Lorain Police Department Youth Division when Joseph Allen and Nancy Smith were accused of child molestation.
In 1994, Allen and Smith were convicted of child molestation charges, which Judge James Burge vacated in 2009.
