Satanic ritual abuse exists all over the world. There have been reports, journal
articles, web pages and criminal convictions of these horrific crimes against
children and adults.
There has also been an attempted cover up of these crimes by child pornographers,
those with pro-pedophilia philosophies and those defending child molesters in the
public or legal arena

“…is methodical abuse, often using indoctrination, aimed at breaking the will of
another human being. In a 1989 report, the Ritual Abuse Task Force of the L.A.
County Commission for Women defined ritual abuse as: “Ritual Abuse usually
involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time. The physical abuse is
severe, sometimes including torture and killing. The sexual abuse is usually
painful,humiliating, intended as a means of gaining dominance over the victim.The
psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual indoctrination.
It includes mind control techniques which convey to the victim a profound terror
of the cult members …most victims are in a state of terror, mind control and
dissociation” (Pg. 35-36) “Safe Passage to Healing”, by Chrystine Oksana, 1994,

topic, though there is a newer edition out by iuniverse.com (2001)

Ritual abuse diagnosis research - excerpt from a chapter in: Lacter, E. & Lehman,
K. (2008).Guidelines to Differential Diagnosis between Schizophrenia and Ritual
Abuse/Mind Control Traumatic Stress. In J.R. Noblitt & P. Perskin(Eds.), Ritual
Abuse in the Twenty-first Century: Psychological, Forensic, Social and Political
Considerations, pp. 85-154. Bandon, Oregon: Robert D. Reed Publishers. quotes: A
second study revealed that these results were unrelated to patients’ degree of
media and hospital milieu exposure to the subject of Satanic ritual abuse. “In
fact, less media exposure was associated with production of more Satanic content
in patients reporting ritual abuse, evidence that reports of ritual abuse are not
primarily the product of exposure contagion.” Responses are consistent with the
devastating and pervasive abuse these victims have experienced, so often including
immediate family members. http://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/studies/ritual-abuse-

Bottoms, Shaver and Goodman in their 1993 study to evaluate ritual abuse claims
found that in 2,292 alleged ritual abuse cases, 15% of the perpetrators in adult
cases and 30% of the perpetrators in child cases confessed to the abuse. Data from
Brown, Scheflin and Hammond (1998).”Memory, Trauma Treatment, And the Law” (W. W.

On Page 170 (first edition), of Cult and Ritual Abuse - Noblitt and
Perskin(Praeger, 1995) states “One of the best sources of evaluative research on
ritual abuse is the article “Ritual Abuse: A Review of Research” by Kathleen
Coulborn Faller (1994)….in a survey of 2,709 members of the American Psychological
Association, it was found that 30 percent of these professionals had seen cases of
ritual or religion-related abuse (Bottoms, Shaver & Goodman, 1991). Of those
psychologists who have seen cases of ritual abuse, 93 percent believed that the
reported harm took place and 93 percent believed that the alleged ritualism
occurred. This is a remarkable finding. Mental health professionals are known to
be divergent in their thinking and frequently do not agree with one another
regarding questions of the diagnosis and etiology of psychiatric problems…this
level of concurrence in a large national sample of psychologists…would be
impressive….the similar research of Nancy Perry (1992) which further supports (the
previous findings)…Perry also conducted a national survey of therapists who work
with clients with dissociative disorders and she found that 88 percent of the
1,185 respondents indicated”belief in ritual abuse, involving mind control and
programming” (p.3).”

“Since the 1980s, disclosures of organised abuse have been disparaged by a range
of activists, journalists and researchers who have focused, in particular, on
cases in which sexually abusive groups were alleged to have behaved in ritualistic
or ceremonial ways…Whilst these authors claimed to be writing in the interests of
science and social justice, what has emerged from their writing are a familiar set
of arguments about the credibility of women and children’s testimony of sexual
violence; in short, that women and children are prone to a range of memory and
cognitive errors that lead them to make false allegations of rape. This paper
argues that this body of literature has systematically misconstrued allegations of
organised abuse, and used organised abuse as a lens through which the debate on
child abuse could be re-envisioned along very traditional lines, attributing
victim status to accused men and constructing liars out of women and children
complaining of sexual abuse.”

Cheryl and Lynn Hersha with Dale Griffis, Ph D. and Ted Schwartz. New Horizon
Press, P O Box 669 Far Hills, NJ 07931 - ISBN0-88282-196-2 Is a well-documented,
verifiable account of not one, but two childrens’ long untold stories of being
CHILD subjects of Project MKUltra. Quotes from the book: “By the time Cheryl
Hersha came to the facility, knowledge of multiple personality was so complete
that doctors understood how the mind separated into distinct ego states,each
unaware of the other. First, the person traumatized had to be both extremely
intelligent and under the age of seven, two conditions not yet understood though
remaining consistent as factors. The trauma was almost always of a sexual nature…”
p. 52 “The government researchers,aware of the information in the professional
journals, decided to reverse the process (of healing from hysteric dissociation).
They decided to use selective trauma on healthy children to create personalities
capable of committing acts desired for national security and defense.” p. 53 - 54
The book also contains a variety of documents on mk-ultra and different projects
as well as reports to the Presidential Committee on Radiation and Mind Control,
including information on the five Canadians’ lawsuit against the U.S. Government.
Another much maligned case is the McMartin Preschool Case - Child pornographers,

verification of the accuracy of the book “Michelle Remembers“by Michelle Smith and
Lawrence Pazder, MDfrom the book “A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER” pages xi - xiii”
“Dr. Pazder’s credentials are impressive. He obtained his M.D. from the University
of Alberta in 1961; his diploma in tropical medicine from the University Liverpool
in 1962; and in 1968, his specialist certificate in psychiatry and his diploma in
psychological medicine from McGill University. In 1971, he was made a fellow of
Canada’s Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a member of three
Canadian professional associations and of the American Psychiatric Association as
well. He practiced medicine in West Africa and has participated in medical task
forces and health organizations. He has been chairman of the Mental Health
Committee of the Health Planning Council for British Columbia. A member of the
staff of two hospitals in Victoria, British Columbia -the Royal Jubilee and the
Victoria General-he is in private practice with a group of five psychiatrists. His
professional papers include a study of the long-term effects of stress upon
concentration-camp victims.
The source material was scrutinized. The many thousands of pages of transcript of
the tape recordings that Dr. Pazder and Michelle Smith made of their psychiatric
sessions were read and digested; they became the basis of this book. The tapes
themselves were listened to in good measure, and the videotapes made of some of
his sessions were viewed. Both the audio and video are powerfully convincing. It
is nearly unthinkable that the protracted agony they record could have been
fabricated.”

Letters to the Editor: The Real Darkness Is Child Abuse WALL STREET JOURNAL (J)
02/24/95
excerpts:
As the chief prosecutor of both of the Amirault cases I am writing to prevent the
public from being misled into believing that an injustice occurred as Dorothy
Rabinowitz alleges in her Jan. 30 editorial-page piece “A Darkness in
Massachusetts.”
Her suggestion that the convictions were based on “some of the most fantastic
claims ever presented” presumptuously ignores the reality of the cases. The three
Amiraults — Gerald, Violet and Cheryl - were convicted after two trials before
different judges and juries almost one year apart. They were represented by able
and well-known defense counsel. The convictions were upheld after review by state
and federal appellate courts. The McMartin case in California was the result of a
botched legal system and Kelly Michaels’s conviction was overturned because of
legal errors. Contrary to Ms. Rabinowitz’s implication, the Amirault convictions
were neither of these.

Mass. Victims Fight Commutation Plea By Leslie Miller, Associated Press Writer
excerpts:
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Victims in the Fells Acres child abuse case broke down
Thursday as they described their pain publicly for the first time in hopes of
keeping the last person convicted in the case behind bars. Victims urged her to
keep Amirault in prison. “During counseling meetings as a child, I would speak of
a tall man touching me and taking pictures of me,” Phaedra Hopkins, 20, said at an
emotional news conference. “So many times, Mr. Amirault hovered over me, touched
me and hurt me and committed many disgusting acts of abuse.” Those children, now
adults, stood by their testimony Thursday.
“This family raped me, molested me and totally ruined my life,’’said Jennifer
Bennett, who was 3 1/2 years old when she started at Fells Acres. “We weren’t
coaxed. We weren’t lying. We’re telling the truth and we always will,” said
Bennett, 22. “I was there. None of you were there. We weren’t coaxed, nor were we
ever ever ever brainwashed.”Brian Martinello, 21, said he was sexually abused by
Amirault. His mother, Barbara Standke, claims her son came home from the day care
with sores on his genitals and other people’s underwear. “I think it’s an absolute
disgrace to let anyone out of prison for such a disgusting crime,” Martinello
said.
excerpts:
The son of Paul Ingram, a former Thurston County deputy sheriff who confessed to
raping his daughters during nightmarish satanic rituals but later recanted, said
for the first time yesterday that he was physically and sexually abused by his
father for eight years. Chad Ingram, 27, told the state Pardons and Clemency Board
that his father, who is serving 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to six
counts of third-degree rape - crimes he now says never happened - said he was
abused by his father from ages 4 to 12. “He would put himself on top of me and I
would perform oral sex on him,” Chad Ingram said.
Thurston County Sheriff Gary Edwards, though the case never went to trial, it was
subject to intense judicial scrutiny, “all the way up to the Ninth Circuit.”
Edwards added, “This case was not perfect but it had complete judicial review.
“Paul Ingram did commit these crimes; he plead guilty to these crimes. I have no
problem shaving in the morning. I can look myself in the mirror.”

Policy - Spring, 1999 - 22 Harv. J.L. & Pub. Pol’y 523 The Guilty and the
“Innocent”: an Examination of Alleged Cases of Wrongful Conviction from False
Confessions by Paul G. Cassell -”According to the authors (Leo and Ofsche), in
twenty-nine of these cases the false confession resulted in the wrongful
conviction of an innocent person.” “examines nine of these twenty-nine cases in
detail. Based on review of original trial court records and other similar sources,
the part concludes that each of these nine persons were, in all likelihood,
entirely guilty of the crimes charged against them.”"Leo and Ofshe rely in large
measure on secondary sources for the descriptions of the evidence against the
defendants in their collection….For many cases, court records are available only
in the local courthouses where the trial took place, while media accounts are
often readily accessible in computerized databases. Relying on secondary sources,
however, poses the risk of inaccurate recounting of the evidence. Examining
primary sources for the cases in Leo and Ofshe’s collection reveals that this is a
very real problem.” “The problems with the subjective determination of “innocence”
in the Leo-Ofshe collection, like similar problems elsewhere, suggests that
reliance on second-hand sources combined with understandable enthusiasm for the
enterprise of discovering miscarriages may produce more such cases than really
exist.” “Only a relative handful of Leo and Ofshe’s cases would satisfy the
criterion of undisputed wrongful conviction.”

At the trial, one girl showed “definite medical signs of sexual abuse” while “it
could not be ruled out for two others.
In 1996, a consultant, retired Bellevue Police Chief D.P. Van Blaricom, hired by a
city insurer who looked into how the Wenatchee police ran the child abuse
investigations stated that the cases were handled properly. A U.S. Department of
Justice investigation also found that there was no evidence of civil rights
violations.
Cops Win Wash. State Sex Ring Case - June 29, 1998 - Aviva L. Brandt AP Online -
Seattle “A jury on Monday rejected claims of police misconduct brought by four
people who say they were falsely accused of child rape and molestation. After
deliberating for more than five days, the King County Superior Court panel decided
that the central Washington town of Wenatchee, the town’s police officials and
three members of the Douglas County sheriff’s department did not violate the civil
rights of the four, who said they were falsely accused in 1994-95. Douglas County
Sheriff Dan LaRoche said the verdict allows police to keep investigating sex abuse
and molestation cases without fear of lawsuits.
Excerpts:
A line divides this town. On one side are those who believe dozens of children
were raped and molested over seven years by adults in two loosely organized sex
rings. On the other are those who assert a rogue cop and obsessed social workers
created a whirlpool of sexual hysteria- coaxing children into accusations and
bullying bewildered, poorly educated adults into confessions. Gov. Mike Lowry,
petitioned by critics who believe the case is a witch hunt, has asked for a
Justice Department review and is awaiting a decision from U.S. Attorney General
Janet Reno. Authorities say as many as 50 children were forced to have sex with
adults since 1988 - sometimes alone, sometimes in groups. In the last year, 28
adults have been charged with child rape and sexual abuse. Five have been
convicted, 10 have pleaded guilty.
“Every female victim had physical evidence of sexual abuse and the majority of the
males did,” Smith said. “Clearly it’s pretty good evidence to show that this is
occurring.”
Douglas County Prosecutor Steve Clem sounded frustrated when asked about
allegations that his office hasn’t bothered to look for the truth. “The defense
attorneys are using what I’m sure … some day in the future will be called the O.J.
defense, where they sling mud, make wild accusations and see conspiracies all
around them,” he said.” There’s physical evidence consistent with the stories they
(the children) tell. There’s more than one person talking about the very same
things going on,” said Tim Abbey, a regional supervisor with the state Child
Protective Services. “And there are a lot of confessions, and many times they’re
confessing to more than the kids said happened.”
