The sexual abuse charge seems like an ignition point that caused Freeman to finally detonate.
Freeman’s described as paranoid, reclusive, deeply distrustful of external systems, and as rarely leaving his property.
The alleged SA of a minor occurred within the last 2 years. He was on that same property these last two years.
The
property that Freeman lived on is said to have functioned more like a
20 hectare isolated compound, and reportedly housed multiple individuals beyond his immediate family. That setup would give him unmonitored and routine proximity to whoever else lived there.
Any sustained access to a minor could have therefore occurred on-site, and if so, reporting the abuse would have been extremely difficult and would have required the victim to have left the property and accessed safety & support.
