Theoretical and Personal Perspectives on the Delayed Memory Debate By
Jennifer J. Freyd, PhD University of Oregon Eugene, OR 97403

A Presentation For: The Center for Mental Health at Foote Hospital's
Continuing Education Conference:
Controversies around recovered memories of incest and ritual abuse
Saturday, August 7 1993 Ann Arbor, Michigan

....As many of you know, the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF)
was founded and is now directed by, my mother, Pamela Freyd.

It is widely known that my parents claim to be "falsely accused" of
the sexual abuse by their daughter. Numerous newspaper stories about
the FMSF have presented my parents' status as falsely accused.

Just last month, on the NPR evening radio news show "All Things
Considered" the reporter, Wendy Schmelzer, said "For the last year,
Dr. Freyd has criss-crossed the country attending similar meetings;
each time with the same message for her audience –– 'you are not
alone. My husband and I were also falsely accused.'" I am the
daughter they claim has falsely accused them.

Not only is it widely known that my parents were accused of sexual
abuse, and not only is it widely assumed that the accusations was
"false", but the details of their story are also –– most strangely ––
widely known. My mother published her version of being falsely
accused under the name "Jane Doe" and this published story has been
circulated widely. Many people learn the story without knowing the
identity of the characters, but believing the details to be accurate.
I find the latter situation unnerving; I find the former situation ––
where people get exposed to Jane Doe thinking it is about me ––
horribly invasive and violating. As one clinician said at a national
meeting recently about the FMSF: "there is persuasive evidence that
this organization grew out of one family's feud that's overgrown its
boundaries and come into the popular culture."

In speaking about personal matters today, I would like to offer my
truth in hopes that it will inform you of aspects of the context out
of which FMSF grew. I would never have chosen to be here today
speaking about my personal life, were circumstances not what they
are. I make this decision partly because I have already lost so much
of my privacy, and in such an unclear and distorted way, that I have
come to desire clarity and public truth as the lesser of two
undesirable situations. I also speak about these matters today
because I hope what I have to share will help, directly or indirectly,
other abused children and adult survivors of abuse. I hope that
speaking my truth is, in the end, healing for myself and for others.

The truth I wish to speak about today pertains to patterns of
behaviors. I will speak about a pattern of behavior my parents have
exhibited towards me in my childhood and continuing into the present:
A pattern of boundary violations, a pattern of invasion and control, a
pattern of inappropriate and unwanted sexualization, a pattern of
family and relationship dysfunction, and a pattern of intimidation and
manipulation....

15-Year-Old Girl Raped, Police Dismiss the Case Because Victim and
Attackers Have "Low IQs"
How police treat rape in America. News & Politics AlterNet By
Laura Gottesdiener February 13, 2013

In some of the most disturbing and sickening news of the day, New York
state police have decided that a 15-year-old girl who was sexually
assaulted by three boys was in fact not sexually assaulted because
both she and the boys are mentally handicapped.

In May of last year, three boys attacked a 15-year-old mentally
challenged student at Martin De Porres Academy, a school for students
with special needs in Long Island. According to the police report, one
of the boys repeatedly banged her head against the table while the
other two forced her to give them oral sex and then tried to have
forcible anal sex with her. In interviews with the police, the girl
explained how she repeatedly said “no” and “stop” but that the boys
continued to assault her. When she came home from school that day, her
mother noticed that she had blood on her underwear.

But the Nassau County Police Department recently decided to drop the
case after learning that the boys also had learning disabilities and
mental handicaps, which apparently made the situation far too
complicated for the police department.

The department’s spokesperson told the New York Daily News , “It was
more of a consensual situation with their mental capabilities.”

Of course, head-banging, blood and repeated pleas to “stop” are never
consensual situations--regardless of the IQ level of the attackers.
But, in this case, the police department is even further off target.
As the family’s lawyer explained, the girl has an IQ of about 50
points, which puts her below the cognitive functioning level to
consent to sex at all....

Torso of African boy detectives believe was killed in a ritual
sacrifice before being tossed into the Thames is 'identified' by key
witness Torso named Adam by detectives has been 'revealed' as
Nigerian-born Patrick Erhabor
John Hall Thursday 07 February 2013

A torso found in the Thames, which detectives believe belongs to an
African boy murdered in a ritual sacrifice, has reportedly been
identified by a key witness.

Speaking to BBC News, Joyce Osagiede said the child was Nigerian-born
Patrick Erhabor - a child she claims to have looked after in Germany
before he was trafficked to the UK.

Ms Osagiede went on to say she had handed the boy over to a bogus
asylum seeker and convicted people smuggler called Kingsley Ojo, who
was deported back to Nigeria despite having offered to help with the
inquiry.

The BBC said there is no evidence to suggest Ojo was involved in the
murder or knew what would happen to the boy, however, and Ojo has
always denied having anything to do with the killing.

The torso, which was found close to London’s Tower Bridge in September
2001, was named Adam by detectives. Forensic tests revealed he had
come from Benin City in Nigeria....

Sister's persistence leads to murder charges
Fullerton detectives question a convicted murderer, who confesses to
killing 3 men in 1981-82 and disposing of the bodies in what he called
a Tibetan sky burial ritual. Feb. 13, 2013

By LARRY WELBORN / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

Kathy Tessanne never let it go.

Every so often for more than 30 years, Tessanne contacted Fullerton
police and asked if there was any new information on a 1982 missing
person case....

Last week, Fullerton police detectives gave Tessanne and her siblings
grim but not unexpected news.

DNA tests conducted by the Orange County crime lab revealed that a
partial skull found by hikers in 1985 near Big Bear has been
identified as belonging to Frank Bartlett Marshall, Tessanne's long-
missing foster brother.

The detectives weren't finished: the skull, they explained, had a
bullet hole in it, confirming her worst fears. Marshall, who was last
seen when he drove his motorcycle away from her family's Fullerton
home on Jan. 2, 1982, had been murdered.

The detectives had more.

New evidence led them to question a convicted killer serving two life
terms for two murders of young men who had disappeared in very similar
circumstances from Fullerton in late 1981.

And the detectives told Tessanne that inmate – David Richard Campbell,
67 – confessed to killing Marshall and spreading his remains in rugged
terrain near Big Bear in what he called a Tibetan sky burial,
according to Hughes....

Smashed: The sex-slave cult where women were 'forced to sleep with men
claiming to be reincarnation of Christ' on Mexico-US border
Cult was called the 'Defensores de Cristo' or 'Defenders of
Christ'
It allegedly recruited women to have sex with a Spanish man
Authorities raided house across the border from Laredo, Texas
By Leon Watson 30 January 2013
Mexican officials broke up a bizarre cult that allegedly ran a sex-
slavery ring among its followers on the U.S. border, Mexican
immigration authorities revealed today.

The 'Defensores de Cristo' or 'Defenders of Christ' allegedly
recruited women to have sex with a Spanish man who claimed he was the
reincarnation of Christ, according to an official of a victims'
advocacy group.

Followers were subjected to forced labor or sexual services, including
prostitution, according to the National Immigration Institute that
said it filed a complaint more than a year ago about the cult.

Federal police, agents of Mexico's National Immigration Institute and
prosecutors raided a house earlier this week near Nuevo Laredo, across
the border from Laredo, Texas, and found cult members, including
children, living in filthy conditions, according to the institute
official....

But according to the cult's website, the leader was Spaniard Ignacio
Gonzalez de Arriba. He set up shop in Mexico about three years ago,
after a stint in Brazil and other parts of South America, said Myrna
Garcia, an activist with the Support Network for Cult Victims who has
worked with victims of the Defenders of Christ cult.

He became involved in offering courses on 'bio-programming,' an
esoteric practice that claims to allow practicants to 'reprogram'
their brains to eliminate pain, suffering and anxiety, according to
institute....

The Interior Department said the Defenders of Christ had not
registered as a religious group, as required under Mexican law. Garcia
said cells of the cult might still be active in Peru and Argentina

Konstantin Rudnev: Russian cult leader jailed for sex abuse
A Russian cult leader who described himself as an "extra-terrestrial
from Sirius" has been jailed for 11 years for sexually abusing his
followers.
By Tom Parfitt, Moscow 08 Feb 2013

Konstantin Rudnev, 45, was convicted in a closed trial in Siberia of
rape, drug trafficking, sexual assault and "creating an organisation
that infringes on people's personality and rights".

It was the end of an extraordinary and bizarre journey for the self-
proclaimed prophet, who also went under the moniker Great Shaman Shri
Dzhnan Avatar Muni.


The former steelworker founded his strict, hierarchical cult called
Ashram Shambala in the city of Novosibirsk in the late 1980s, cheating
converts out of their belongings in exchange for a potpourri of
esoteric and occultist teachings and the chance to "clean their energy
channels" in mystical rituals.

The cult grew rapidly, acquiring up to 20,000 followers at ashrams
across Russia....

Followers of the cult were persuaded to sell their apartments and
cars and hand over the cash, while breaking links with their
relatives.

"Psychological pressure was put on the adherents," said Irina Zebrova,
a Federal Security Service (FSB) spokesperson. "They were forced to
unquestioningly follow the commands of the leader of the sect. People
were punished with lack of food and sleep."

Rudnev was originally arrested in 1999, but he escaped from a
psychiatric hospital after being sent for checks. He was detained
again in 2005 but his followers refused to give evidence against him.

Almost all Blacks all have low IQs. So why are there so many of them
in prison on forcible rape convictions?
