You think there might have been manipulation? Huh?
You mean like “If you try to leave or get away, I will kill the rest of your family.”?
Do you think that, and the brutal rape every night, might have scared a 14 year old girl into not wanting to make the psychopath mad?
You mean that kind of manipulation?
No, the kind of ‘’manipulation’’ I see is two very naive and frankly, stupid parents who thought it would be a good Christian thing to do and bring home street bums, winos and other assorted weirdos , let them do ‘’odd jobs’’ around the house while scoping out your 14 year old daughter. If you ask me those two need one upside the head and a big dose of common sense.
