Gay “Partners” Accused of Imprisoning and Raping Child
Drudge tweeted out a link to this story in the aftermath of the Duck Dynasty guy getting suspended from A&E, I think as a counterpoint to the “anti-gay remarks” controversy. A gay male couple in Alabama, one of whom was separated from his wife in Wyoming, had never registered his son in school, and had no medical records proving vaccinations. The prosecutors are accusing the couple of having kept the boy as a sex slave, including taking the child to DisneyWorld to have sex with him.
From AL here:
Two Huntsville men who were domestic partners are at the center of a child sex abuse and child pornography case that reaches far beyond Huntsville.
Prosecutors are seeking a $1 million cash bond for Charles Dunnavant, who is charged with sexual torture, sodomy, aggravated child abuse and transmitting or exposing a person to a STD, in connection with the case against Carl Herold, who faces similar sex charges and child pornography production charges.
The prosecutor said: They held the child captive for eight months and there are no standards, taboos or lines this defendant and his co-defendant hesitated to cross.
Dunnavant lived with Herold and Herold’s son in Huntsville.
Investigators came across numerous photos depicting sexual torture involving a child. Smith said investigators had an interview with the child, now 9, and he led investigators to his father. Herold spoke to investigators for several hours, Smith said, and implicated Dunnavant.
The child did not attend school in Huntsville and investigators could find no medical records for the child.
And from AL here:
Herold spoke to reporters outside the district courtroom saying, “I love and miss my son very much” and disputing a police investigator’s testimony describing a trip Herold took to Disney World with the boy as at least in part about sex. Herold said the boy stayed with his grandmother during the trip and “turned 9 on Space Mountain.”
Herold, 32, faces charges of producing child pornography, distributing child pornography, allowing his child to be depicted in pornography, sodomy, sexual abuse and aggravated child abuse.
It sounds absolutely ghastly if proven to be true. This gay couple used their own child for sexual torture, ostensibly killing the child’s soul. The kid will need lifetime counselling and will never be able to have a normal relationship. They key evidence is the testimony of the child himself, which can be shaky for prosecution.
