Parents, 6 Sons, Accused Of Sexually Abusing Girl For Nearly A Decade
Huffington Post ^ | 5-17-14 | David Lohr

Posted on 05/17/2014 4:16:50 PM PDT by windcliff

The sheriff of a small county in northeast North Carolina says he is "disgusted" by the parents of six men who are accused of sexually abusing their sister for nearly a decade, at a private family compound.

"I blame the parents for this," Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. "It's your responsibility as a parent to teach [your children] right and wrong. When you see a child doing something that is totally wrong and you don't correct them, then the child thinks it's OK."

Tilley said his deputies charged the six brothers, ranging in age from 19 to 27, on May 6, with a number of crimes related to the alleged sexual abuse of their 16-year-old sister. The sheriff said the alleged abuse began when the girl was 4 years old and continued until she was almost 15.

Authorities have identified the brothers as Aaron Jackson, 19, Benjamin Jackson, also 19, Nathaniel Jackson, 21, Mathew Jackson, 23, Jon Jackson, 25, and Eric Jackson, 27.

Tilley described the family as "bizarre" and said he believes the father is "anti-government" and "anti-schools."

"The children were home schooled with very limited education," said the sheriff. "They were very private and the whole yard has a fence around it -- like a little compound. They're very different."

I think we all went to school with at least one of those.

Is anybody else thinking of the X-Files episode “Home” which featured the incestuously fertile Peacock family?

Apparently the oldest brother told the pastor of the church, who told him that this was not normal. Then oldest went to police and confessed. All I can guess is that the parents are the crazy ones and the kids were raised in such an echo chamber that only when the oldest was getting out into the normal world did he realized that this is Not Good.

Sounds as if this family badly needed a moral reference point/horizon. Glad the older brother grew enough of a conscience to confess.

Sad article. Not sure where that took place, but seems like someone in the family would have reported it before now.

FYI: Poke ‘weed’ is known as Poke Stalk or Poke Salad, but never eat over 3-3 1/2 ft high, gets pithy holes.. in my part of the south. Tastes like okra...usually breaded and fried....aka poor man’s okra in the mountains.

Kudzu makes a salad, some people like it.

Interestingly, this county borders the county of one of the most infamous witch hunts of the ‘80s, Little Rascals in Edenton:

But, Salamander says we shouldn’t care about such things.

A fence around the yard is now a sign of evil?

> We don’t know enough about this case to call these guys demons or sexual abusers or whatever.<

Read the article. One of the sons confessed to his pastor. Then the son went to the police and confessed. Then other siblings corroborated.

Why? I 100% understand what Cherry was saying. And 100% disagree! It made me angry. But it wasn't beyond the pale.

Lighten, up!

Yes, it was beyond the pale, and I'm not the only one in this thread who noticed. Plus, I have read many of Cherry's posts, and that post is not typical for her. I thought she might want it to go away.
