the 14-year-old pennsylvania girl who was raped, tortured and killed at her adoptive mother's house had been abused or neglected in at least three homes during her short life, according to an attorney.
A lawyer for grace packer's birth parents told the associated press they lost custody of the girl over allegations that other adults were sexually abusing their children.
......
Grace was adopted by adoption worker sara packer when she was a toddler. In 2011, sara packer's husband at the time, david packer, pleaded to statutory sexual assault after he was charged with indecent deviate sexual intercourse with a girl who was 9 at the time of his arrest.
Packer told nbc10 during an interview last year that grace was not the girl he was sentenced for sexually assaulting. The northampton county district attorney's office told nbc10 wednesday however that grace was the girl who he molested.
