JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KY3) - The Missouri Attorney General’s Office filed numerous charges of abuse against the operators of the Circle of Hope Girls Ranch in Cedar County.
Authorities arrested Boyd and Stephanie Householder. They remain jailed in the Vernon County Jail in Nevada, Mo. Attorney Eric Schmitt will detail the case against the Householders at noon news conference on Wednesday. You can watch that news conference LIVE here.
State investigators removed about two dozen girls in mid-august from the facility outside Humansville. The state along with the Cedar County Prosecutor’s Office began outlining a case against the Householders.
Four former residents of the girls ranch filed civil lawsuits against them. Attorneys at Haden, Cowherd and Bullock in Springfield represent all four of the former residents. The lawsuits list them as “Jane Doe” because of the nature of the allegations. All four allege both physical and sexual abuse during their time at Circle of Hope Girls Ranch. The alleged abuse includes restraining girls on the ground with multiple people for extended periods, refusing restroom breaks even after an accident, forcing girls to remain in push-up position for hours and in solitary confinement for days.
The first two young women who filed lawsuits lived at Circle of Hope girls ranch in 2014 and 2015. The third Jane Doe arrived at Circle of Hope in 2012 when she was 14-years-old. She claims, similar to Jane Doe two, Boyd Householder made her his “secretary” and repeatedly sexually assaulted her. The lawsuit claims Stephanie Householder was fully aware of the abuse.

This has been percolating for a while, after the couple’s own daughter went public with these allegations, covered in some national media as I recall.
Yes their kid did a tic toc video and shut the school down.
Parents spent thousands of dollars to send their girls there and this was going on. Now the girls will need years of therapy to undo the damage. So sad.
indeed
It sounds more like “Circle of Hell”.
“Wrong Turn” (movie).

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t trust anyone who runs an organization with “girls” or “boys” in the name.
A place for pedos to enjoy girls!! Did the board have Jeffery Epstein as a member?
“All four allege both physical and sexual abuse during their time at Circle of Hope Girls Ranch.”
If I were their defense attorney, I’d point to the Democrat policy of doing the same with girls in our high schools (forcing them to shower with boys, for example), in fact, legalizes what they’re accused of.
Thank you for the ping.
