Father Says Son Was Victim of Mohler Family

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The Lafayette County Sheriff said they expect there are more victims abused by the Mohlers, but haven't come forward. Detectives have contacted some of those people, like Mark Young's son. Young said his son was abused by one of the Mohler men.

Mark Young and his former wife Pamela Robinson had a child together and that woman later married Burrell Edward Mohler, Jr. Young said Robinson and his son would disappear for days.

Young said another ex-wife of Mohler, Jr tipped him off nearly a decade ago to sexual abuse going on at the farm. He said she warned him so that his then seven-year old son would not become a victim.

"She started crying, and advised me that she felt my son was in extreme danger," Young said.

Young said that woman's six children, who are alleged victims in this case, saw Young's son at the family farm.

Judge John Frerking presided over the hearing, and assigned cash bonds to each family member. Mohler, Sr. was assigned a bond of $75,000; Burrell Mohler, Jr.'s bond is $50,000; David A. Mohler's bond is $35,000, Roland Mohler's bond is $30,000; and Jared Mohler's bond is $50,000.

The family appeared without attorneys. Frerking told them that they would have to apply for public defenders.

If the abusers directed the children to write notes and bury them in jars, then wouldn't the notes say something to effect of:

I will never tell and will forget __________.

Then the abusers would have dug them up and destroyed them, right?

PAXIMUS - Did you notice this: "Back in 2000, Young said an Independence detective contacted Young about the case and his son being a possible victim. Young said he was contacted again this week by police, and his son was listed as a possible victim."

Good point.

It is also worth noting that ALL of the allegations at this time are coming from Burrel Jr's children from his first wife only and it appears from my research that he has been embroiled with this woman in litagation for over a decade or more according to casenet. It is also notable that all the other brothers and Burrel Jr himself have OTHER children who are making no accusations at this time. If it is true, as many here are fond of saying, that paedophiles do not stop at one, and I tend to AGREE that is true, then it is notable that only the children from this first marriage of Burrel Jr are making the accusations and none of the children from the other brother's have come forward with similar experiences/allegations.

Using your post as a jumping off place - if it comes to light that the ex-wife is behind this story of horror - that she has not only ruined the reputations of 5 people - BUT she has caused her children to believe that they have suffered in such horrendeous ways - well, I just don't know what. :furious::furious::furious: I hope she is prosecuted to the fullest extent of both the criminal and civil courts. AND I hope her children get some serious therapy to help them understand just how EVIL a person is, when they act in such a manner.

I don't even know what to say except, while not impossible, I find it soooooo hard to believe that a mother would do this to her children for the sake of a vendetta.

The local that posted said that he'd had multiple marriages and they were all messy divorces. The plural was used, so presumably he's been married AND divorced at least twice. Maybe when they visit the board again they'll let us know the exact numbers.

I have found three divorces, two with kids, one without. All were filed contested. It's interesting that the divorce without kids was filed contested and went to trial. Those are usually the easiest.
 
FWIW.....the reaction of some to defend these men, while accusing the victims of lying and their mothers of either neglect and participation in the crimes, or of using these victims to gain some sort of vengeful satisfaction is EXACTLY the reason that this sort of evil abuse is not reported by either the child victim or the mother. The victims are already traumatized and the mothers foresee the type of responses which some have revealed here and try to protect the child from further trauma by NOT reporting to LE. I see the multiple "messy" divorce records described by posters as evidence that something was wrong here and the women were doing what they could to get away and protect their children.
 
Out of curiosity has anyone looked into any missing children around the time LE is speaking about ? I know they were not real clear as to "when" but I started looking around the time frome of 1984-2000 and I found this young lady who lived close enough around this area...anyhow here is her link:

This one caught my eye due to the perps ties to Columbia.

Theoretically the easiest -- but if for example, the husband does not want to relinquish any property, proceeds from retirement or stocks, half the $$ in bank account, then the wife has no choice but to ask the court to rule.

Abusers are a$$holes-- it's all about them & what they want.

Just an example.

I find it strange that the old man got the highest since he is the least likely to be in the position to flee, recent reports have indicated he is sick and frail.

These bonds are also very low, only 50,000 for the FATHER of the children making the accusations. They all walk today if they pay 5k to a bondsman and he puts up the full bond value for them.

This is very unusual for bail to be set so low in a child sex crime case, normally the judge will set the bail unreasonably high to ensure they are not released to threaten or harm their accusers.

This of course could be a matter of the judge simply following the US Constitution (although not many do!) as the Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution requires that bail not be excessive.
 
Well it is notable that the cause of action statements do not list the other siblings acusations. It could simply be a case where they have told investiators that they support their sister but have nothing further to say or add.

It would be very interesting to see their statements but I am not getting the feeling they have made actual accusations and it seems they are simply standing by their sister in this difficult time.

I may be wrong.

I'm really wondering about this. Given that the girl said she was forced to watch her brother being victimized - it would seem that the brother has collaborated her story? I don't know, but I would think so?

I'm wondering why only charges were brought based on the one child's testimony. If the other children confirmed the abuse - would we not be seeing charges for the crimes against each child? I think this, more than anything, is what keeps me on the fence here. Where are the charges for the abuse against the other 4 children?

as posted upthread, could be related to statute of limitations...this sister could be the youngest sibling, the others are older & SOL kicks in.
