MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

MacLAUGHLIN, District Judge.

This case is before the Court for the second time on the motions of various plaintiffs and all defendants, including for the first time Scott County, for summary judgment. This long, sordid, and troubling matter, which has bitterly divided a community, ended a prosecutorial career, turned family members against family members, and almost certainly irretrievably harmed children, must come to an end. The Court, based upon the facts and the law, has concluded that judgment should be entered in favor of all defendants in all respects.
