ritual abuse evidence
describes crimes
13abc is learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the Father
Robinson case into motion - Father Robinson trial WTVG--October 29, 2007 -
While
Father Robinson's attorney works on his appeal, for the first time we are
learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the cold case into motion.
Last year, a jury found Gerald Robinson guilty of murdering Sister Margaret Ann
Pahl in 1980. It was a letter to the Toledo Diocesan review board from June
2003 that sparked investigators to re-open the case. It is a letter filled
with
bizarre accounts of ritualistic sexual abuse at the hands of members of the
Catholic Church, including priests. Mark Davis is an attorney representing
another unknown client who alleges similar abuse by other priests and is suing
the Toledo Catholic Diocese. Mark Davis says, "The group purposely makes it
so bizarre that a child is not believable and they can escape and get away
with these activities." In one case, a woman says when she was five she was
taken to the Calvary Cemetery and put into a coffin-like pine box with
cockroaches. Another time, she describes being taken to an abandoned house on
Raab Road
to take part in satanic activities. The letter also claims much of the
sexual abuse took part at St. Pius and the rituals were horrifying and
sadistic.

Ritual Abuse Statistics & Research - NUMBERS OF SURVIVORS A single survivor
advocate reports direct contact with more than 3,000 survivors. [ StarDancer
as quoted by David McCulley, Satanic Ritual Abuse: A Question of Memory,
1993] CORRECTION: During Personal conversation with StarDancer for update and
verification, she stated, "I would feel comfortable saying I’ve met or spoken
with more than 1,000 people who identify themselves as survivors…Our estimate
of the people who have read and used Survivorship is 3,000." I talked to one
of the leaders in the Los Angeles County Task Force on Ritual Abuse, who
estimate that there have been more than a hundred California preschools
implicated in ritual abuse. [James Friesen, Uncovering the Mystery of MPD,
1991]
At a 1991 Utah workshop, thirty-two mental health therapists reported
treating 360 separate survivors of ritual abuse. By early 1992 the following
statement had been signed by sixty-six Utah therapists: "We, the undersigned
mental
health professional, have each heard memories of ritual abuse recounted by
some patients, as have therapists across the nation. We believe these
patients’’
allegations to have basis in fact. We are dismayed by accusations that
therapists brainwash their patients or collude to create a mental health
problem
where none existed. We urge our public officials to take appropriate actions
to counter ritual crimes." The names on the signed petition, affirming the
above statement, are given in the 1992 report of the Utah Governor’’s Task
Force on Ritual Abuse. [A. Horton, B. Harrison & B. Johnson, editors,
Confronting Abuse, 199
