Subsequent Investigations
The San Diego County Grand Jury reviewed the Akiki cases in 1994 and concluded in part that "There is no justification for the further pursuit of the theory of satanic ritual molestation in the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases."
On August 25, 1994, Akiki filed a suit against the County of San Diego, Faith Chapel Church, and many others which was settled for $2 million.
San Diego County Public Defenders Kathleen Coyne and Susan Clemens were awarded Public Defender of the Year by the California Public Defender's Association in 1994 for their work defending Akiki.

“And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.”
