Brooke Bennett, 12 yrs. old Randolph, VT #2

OMG, this is so disgusting and disturbing.

I'm sure this employer could come up with some reason. California is an "at will" state, the employer can fire anyone, anytime for no reason at all...unless it is based on race, religion, etc. (then you can go thru a long legal battle) or you are in a union. If your boss doesn't like you any more, he can fire you. Period. I believe many states are at will states, people just don't know that.

as far as this "not doing a good thing for my family" comment...really??? This guy should be glad that this young girl has been saved from a living hell, maybe this family should be ripped apart and see what's really going on. Adults should be able to withstand this scrutiny to save their children's lives.

According to court papers, Michael Jacques, 42, convinced a young relative that she was a part of an underground sex program call "Breckenridge" and repeatedly assaulted her over the last five years. Papers also state that Jacques told the girl that he would cut her throat if she did not go along with the program. But at this time, we do NOT know if Brook Bennett was a victim of the same program.

Jacques did not comment to press as he was lead into Orange County District Court.

Family members of Brooke Bennett were on hand for the arraignment. However, they said little about either case.

"Brooke's mom is my niece, and that is my niece I was sitting with up there. They are sisters. This is not doing a good thing for my family. That is about all I have to say," said Brooke's great-uncle, Storm Woodard.

Jacques' wife Denise left the court without comment.

Wow this is really sad SS..........
His wife really needs to distance herself from the SO....she honestly needs to make a statement to the media.

There are other victims. The charges are not complete yet.
Jacques made threats of violence to his victims and they are looking into more charges. He also made threats against A.R's family to her so that she would comply.

 

[dark_shadows]

He is not a flight risk according to the bail set and that he has ties to randolph and his job in New Hampshire.

Yes, after I read all that it made me physically ill. Five YEARS worth of this with not just one child, but possibly/probably many more. We don't have any idea who is involved or how far this reaches.

 

[Littledeer]

Reading this made me want to get violently ill. To use the President of the United States as a ruse to get this poor child to endure the sick things that were done on her (and most likely was used on other victims) is SO SICK!!

I really really want to get this SOB personally myself!! And then to read this and know that a Judge, is letting him get out if he can secure $25,000?? (does anyone know the value of his home?)

I could just SCREAM!!!!

In the police affidavit, it says the victim was told the president of the United States had selected her for this sex program. The president assigns a trainer, and her trainer would be Michael Jacques. And then she was abused-- almost tortured-- on a weekly basis in many different ways for the next five years. The victim testified she had met three men as part of "Breckenridge" who had told her what types of sexual activity she needed to work on to graduate.

Thanks, DS. This is probably the worst case scenerio if ever imagined. Has LE said whether or not they BELIEVE this is somehow connected to Brooke's disappearance? I know they were out at the house searching, but have they actually come out and said that he's involved.

 

[close_enough]

wow, lots has discussed since after i logged out last night!!..sex ring?..can't catch up, but will watch, & hope Greta discusses the case tonight....

No wonder she couldn't wait to go to Texas for her vacation! poor kid! (via her myspace)

So what is it about the family dynamics that Brooke's mom doesn't want public? There must be something there or it wouldn't be kept secret.

 

[calidreamin]

Anyone who bailed out in the facilities here in Vermont only had to come up with 10% of the bail amount. Many people that came to the facility to bail a person out used cash, a surety note, property note or credit. Some used the titles to their vehicles, some would use property.
No one is allowed to use a check.

Thank you for the info D S:blowkiss::blowkiss::blowkiss:. It is good to see you!

 

[Class-z]

You may be right, but I'm not going to condemn the judge until I know more facts. The judge may have specified @250k cash and not allowed a 10% bond. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

Yeah and how does someone like him, spending 10years in prison and only being out 2-5 years own propertya nd rental propety?

 

[dark_shadows]

You may be right - and I certainly don't want to start an argument. I'm just having a hard time thinking that a judge would set a bail that he could actually make. By law, she may have to set an amount, but I keep thinking that there must be more to it - like she can specify that it has to be cash up front or something. She has to know that she would incur the wrath of everyone if he got out.

Dearest Cricket,:blowkiss:
I was a Correctional Officer here in Vermont at 2 different facilities here for 14 years. I retired in 2007.

IMO...this guy is a prime candidate to run. It's only going to get worse for him. I think the judge was an idiot.

The WHOLE family thing is kinda weird.

Welcome to WS, Celt and other newbies I may have missed! (Sorry...The breaking news is huge today.)

I just don't even want to imagine what these children have suffered at the hands of these pervs.

A very good question...and a full-time job! Is there no such thing as a background check?

 

[MrsMush99]

Ok I missed the PC today. And I have been following this case from the beginning. Am I understanding correctly? Did the judge give the uncle bail????

 

[concernedperson]

Welcome to WS, Celt and other newbies I may have missed! (Sorry...The breaking news is huge today.)

I just don't even want to imagine what these children have suffered at the hands of these pervs. Brooke may be too old to have been "in the program" is what I am thinking. If the abuse of the relative stopped at age 9...it would tell me that their preferences are for the much younger girls. Brooke may have found out about it all tho from the other girl tho.

I thought it started at 9 or 10? Need to go back and reread.
