You're quite welcome, and I completely agree.

I hadn't seen this interview. It's the one referred to in my link upthread:

Accused Molester Speaks: Jailhouse Interview

After 90 minutes a Judge decided that there is enough evidence so Hann and Caravella are going to court on numerous charges.

The poor kid had to testify.

Per usual hann said she was set up.

Stuff like this makes me wonder just how many children are victimized by caretakers and it is never found out! The percentage must be astronomical. These criminals are completely self-absorbed and probably satanists. It's disgusting. She may very well be that child's mother; she would have been 30 when he was born. I suspect that they may have conceived him for the sole purpose of victimizing him this way. It is obvious that they don't care about him otherwise. I just hate to think of all the people who are never caught.

Legions of children do not tell and the secret is held in for years. I believe that there's many WSers who were abused and didn't tell until later. Look at clery abuse, scout abuse, the massive cases involving doctors. Common as rain.

Being that our children did tell and faced the system, I can say from personal experience that it's brutal. I've often wondered if children would really tell if they knew the full consequences. It used to really bother me that other victims in our case had parents who chose to move away or did not allow their child to be interviewed. I laughed off moving. This was our home. We did nothing wrong. Now I'm not so sure that was the right choice. A part of me fully understands the need to run now. The judicial system was not set up to be child friendly. Once a child discloses, it can be decades until there is legal closure--not to mention emotional closure.

Concerning this case, I believe this boy is a relative but not a birth child. It's hard to fully understand the family dynamics.

Of course, Hann was set up. Aren't they all?

Caravella is not this poor boys biological father. He's not even Hann's husband although she refers to him as such. I highly doubt they're satanists. More like a bunch of grown ups spewing things about a young girl because she told on the guy he abused her and another girl as well. So fo course the kids a liar. Hann goes to great lengths on the internet calling her own niece a liar. Yeah, yeah, yeah we're all liars.

The creep that abused me was no satanist he was just a drunken, perverted, pedophile that no doubt abused his own children and grandchildren. Sadly behind everyone of them is someone who keeps their trap shut for many different reasons. Example you don't want to see your old man sent to jail and lose that check he brings home or get your own a*s kicked when it's found out you knew all along and let kids be victimized over and over. JMO though, and own experience.

This Hann lady though is a piece of work. She's sticking to her story and that's that.

Oh Filly....

(((hugs)))

He didn't have to call himself a satanist. He did the devil's work just fine by free-lancing.
You're cherished here.

Another article about the boy's testimony and some details I hadn't seen:

http://www.timesleader.com/news/Boy__13__tells_of_alleged_abuse__neglect_08-24-2011.html

"A 13-year-old boy testified against the couple who cared for him, stating he was neglected and sexually abused for nearly five years...."

and

"...The boy alleged Robert Caravella, 51, introduced him to when the boy was 8 years old, and shortly thereafter Carol Ann Hann began forcing him to perform lewd sex acts on her. If the boy did not perform well, he stated, Caravella would “coach” him..."

and

"...The boy did not look at Caravella and Hann when Roberts asked him to identify the couple, only describing the yellow prison clothing they wore. He often played with his hands and shuffled his feet while testifying. Hann stared at the boy while Caravella hung his head during the boy’s testimony...."

and

"....After he [Police Officer Ryan Williams] removed the boy from the house, he took the teen to the Plymouth Police Station, where the boy was advised to take a shower. “I asked him when the last time he took a shower was. He didn’t remember,” Williams said. The boy said he was scared while at the police station because he did not know how to bathe himself...."

Note that even in a court setting, Hann is still attempting to intimidate the child. I'm assuming that he was told beforehand to avoid her gaze. Good for him for taking care of himself. He's a brave boy to be speaking out. I have to wonder how the adult male relative with disabilities who was living in that house is now faring.

Wow this lady is still trying to control him by staring at him!

 

[badhorsie]

On Friday, a jury convicted Hann of rape of a child, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of children and incest. She will be sentenced in February.

More at link. Horrific.
