Guilty Plea Entered in Ponchatoula Sexual-abuse Case - Prison Time Could Be Avoided with Plea
By David J. Mitchell Advocate Florida parishes bureau 2/17/09 Amite - The estranged wife of a former church pastor convicted in a child sexual-abuse scandal at a now-defunct Ponchatoula church pleaded guilty late this morning to obstruction of justice under an agreement with prosecutors. Under the terms of her "best interests of justice" plea, Robbin Lamonica, 49, of Hammond, could avoid any prison time in connection with charges from the case, attorneys on both sides said. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss three counts of aggravated rape and four counts of aggravated oral sexual battery in exchange for the guilty plea entered today before Judge Zorraine M. "Zoey" Waguespack at the Tangipahoa Parish Courthouse in Amite....Prosecution and defense attorneys also said Lamonica has agreed to testify at future trials in the Hosanna case, which has raised lurid child sex charges amid allegations of satanic rituals at the church. Seven members of Hosanna Church have been indicted or convicted in connection with the alleged child sex ring. Juries have convicted former Hosanna pastor Louis D. Lamonica, Robbin Lamonica's estranged husband, and Austin "Trey" Bernard III on allegations of child rape. Lamonica is serving four concurrent life sentences and Bernard three consecutive life sentences....The defendant does not admit to a specific act but admits that prosecutors have enough evidence to get a conviction on the charge in question. http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/39743437.html

Woman revisits the ‘Hell’ of ritual abuse By Ben Winslow Deseret News 12/10/08

An Interview With the Author of Hell Minus One
ANNE A JOHNSON DAVIS
My Story of Deliverance From Satanic Ritual Abuse and My Journey to Freedom
Q. What is Hell Minus One about?
Anne: Ultimately, Hell Minus One is a book about hope and empowerment. It is a memoir – a segment of my life. As the subtitle of my book states, it is “My Story of Deliverance from Satanic Ritual Abuse and My Journey to Freedom.”
Hell Minus One also reveals that there are people who engage in satanic ritual abuse. SRA is not a myth, as some claim it to be.
Starting at age three, my parents intermittently used me as a sacrificial object in satanic rituals until I ran away from home at 17.
Hell Minus One tells the story about my abuse, and the steps I took to break free, heal and eventually forgive my tormentors.
It is a story of choices I made, and the miracles and crucial help I received, which empowered me to triumph over a tragic past. It is also about the commitment I made to live a new life of love and purpose.
Q. Why did you write Hell Minus One?
Anne: As I healed, I began to understand that my life and my sanity hadn’t been spared for my sake alone. I felt a calling to bring empowerment and hope to others. My husband, Bruce, was also convinced of that calling, and consistently encouraged me to write a book. He felt that my experiences could make a contribution to the world. At first I resisted, because I wasn’t ready to commit to what I suspected would be an intense and painful effort.
Yet, as I healed, the desire to inspire courage in others grew. Based on my experience, I wanted other victims of abuse to have hope, and to be empowered, to overcome what appear to be insurmountable obstacles; that whatever we face, we can overcome – and be even better. Doors will open and help will come when we are giving our all for good.
Also, I have unique corroborative evidence to SRA. Memories I allowed to come forth, alone and in private, I wrote in explicit allegation letters.
Those letters were responded to with handwritten confessions from the perpetrators, who were my own mother and stepfather. Also, my half-siblings sent letters to authorities that validated my abuse allegations as true.
Two detectives from the Attorney General’s Office subsequently obtained from the perpetrators verbal confessions admitting to their handwritten confessions.
Q. Who should read Hell Minus One?
Anne: My book is a story intended to bring hope to the abused that they have the ability to be healed; hope to those in bondage that they have options (take courage, seek them out). It is also a plea to those in a position to help—such as law enforcement officials, mental health professionals, clergy and even friends—to be open-minded about allegations entrusted to them.
This book is also for those who would love to read a true story about goodness and light overcoming evil and darkness.
Q. What is the most important message or messages in your book?
Anne: Our adversity is not our identity. What we do, or what has been done to us, is not who we are. No matter what has been inflicted upon us – or what mistakes we may have made – we can overcome and be true to our authentic, real self. Goodness and light always overcome evil and darkness. Our God-given ability to define our own life is never lost – never!
This book is for those who need encouragement – or who are in a professional or personal position to support and encourage others.
The subtitle of my book is: “My Story of Deliverance from Satanic Ritual Abuse and My Journey to Freedom.” I often say “deliverance” rather than “escape” because I could not have made it out by myself. I received assistance from a Higher Power. I do not believe that anyone can get out of something this thoroughly enslaving entirely on their own.
This book is more than about overcoming satanic abuse. My message also applies to individuals, organizations and corporations about overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. We all have Goliaths to face and overcome. This process of facing and overcoming is never easy and requires commitment and hard, hard work. But the work and the result are life-changing. The only way out is through.
Q. How long did it take you to write the book?
Anne: Let’s see – how old am I? It took me a lifetime! Forty-seven years to first live it, and then relive it and deal with it; six years to write it; and finally, eighteen months to edit and publish the final manuscript released in December 2008.
Q. What kind of research did you do?
Anne: What kinds of research? I didn’t research it. First I lived it, and then I remembered it.
Memories to come forward – which they did in crystal clarity – one by one, day after day, week after week, month after month. They formed a shocking and malignant picture of which I had been totally unaware.
I wrote explicit allegation letters and ultimately received handwritten confessions from my parents – my own mother and stepfather. Those written confessions were validated by verbal confessions to Utah Attorney General Detectives who investigated the allegations.
Q. What was the most difficult thing or challenge for you in writing Hell Minus One?
Anne: Finding determination and courage to stay with it for over seven years; writing and re-writing manuscripts that recounted horrifying and painful details, yet balancing the dark elements of my story with the more important shafts of light that diminished the darkness.
Those shafts of light included my faith and spiritual experiences, along with circumstances and priceless people who intersected my life.
Q. In the book’s early chapters, the amount of detail you recall as a three year old is significant. How did you remember all that? Was it always there, or did it come to you as you wrote?
Anne: Most of it I had recalled as I went through therapy. Additional details emerged as I endeavored to get my story into written form over the years.
As my editor and I worked together to finalize the manuscript, at times he asked me if I knew more. In that case, I would employ the same skill I had gained from my counselor. In order to maintain authenticity and accuracy, I gave myself quiet uninterrupted time and simply let the supporting details emerge.
Q. Were your siblings victims like you, or were they Satanists like your parents?
Anne: My half-siblings wrote corroborating letters to church authorities verifying my allegations as true. I respect their privacy, and cannot speak for them.
They were not victims “like me,” because I was separated out from the rest of the family – considered the “bastard child” to be used as a sacrificial object.
Q. How did you get them to write corroborative allegation letters against your parents?
Anne: In the early stages of my therapy, when I still had contact with them, I called all three and asked if they would each write to church authorities corroborating my allegations. All three did.
Q. Your parents’ confession letters are published extensively in your book. You used ellipses extensively in several paragraphs. What did you leave out and why?
Anne: left out parts that were too demented and violent to be published.
This book is less an expose and more a message of hope and encouragement, deliverance and healing.
My intention of including the confession letters in this book was to give the reader enough information to know how bad it was. But I didn’t want it to be so abrasive and offensive that the reader would put the book down.
There are references made to my half-siblings, and for the sake of their privacy, I also excluded that information with ellipses.
Q. Where are your parents’ confession letters now?
Anne: The originals are in a security vault.
Q. Are they available for public scrutiny? If not, why?
Anne: No. They are not available for public scrutiny. They were made available to the Utah Attorney General’s Office during its investigation.
They were also made available to the publisher and editor of the book during the writing of the final manuscript; but, because of the often overtly graphic nature of the contents, and issues of libel and invasion of privacy in naming names, they are not available to the public.
Q. Your parents began to subject you to satanic ritual abuse when you were three years old and continued until you left home at 17. You began to experience episodes of rage in your mid-30s. By the late 1990s, you had finished your therapy and were on your way to recovery. That was over a decade ago, and now you’re in your mid-50s. You say it took you seven years to write Hell Minus One. Why didn’t you write your book sooner? Was it a matter of getting emotionally ready before revealing this memoir?
Anne: It wasn’t until 2001 that I felt I had enough closure and time to write a meaningful book that would help others. Writing Hell Minus One took much longer than I could have ever anticipated, but I was not willing to finalize the manuscript until it was authentic in every detail, and also well written. It took eighteen months to write and edit the final manuscript.
Q. Your parents did horrible and vicious things to you. After each episode, you wouldn’t remember a thing, or connect your dark, painful feelings inside to your parents. What is the medical or psychological definition of this occurrence, and how does it come about? How and why does the brain work this way? To cancel things out?
Anne: Professional definitions that I have heard used are inconclusive. I tend to stay with my own experience rather than attempt to use labels that can be contradictory and misunderstood.
In my case, my psyche prevented me from knowing about my abuse until I was mature enough to take action. Until then, the threats of my perpetrators of being able to tell what I was thinking, even if they were not around, and that I would be destroyed if I remembered anything, kept all of the memories of their abuse in bound psychological silence.
Q. What exactly is Satanic Ritual Abuse?
Anne: To me, SRA is a criminally inhumane and depraved form of devil-worship. The felony crimes include brutal torture and molestation of innocent victims – physically, sexually, mentally and spiritually.
Q. What is its origin? Its history?
Anne: First of all, I’m not an expert on satanic ritual abuse, nor do I want to be. Sometimes while I was being abused, I heard my parents and their cohorts speak of going back into medieval times, and therefore, anything that was done that night didn’t apply to that present time.
However, what they said is not the origin of SRA. There are several resources on the Internet that describe in detail the term and origin of satanic ritual abuse. Unfortunately, what is found there mostly proclaims SRA to be false—to be an urban myth, born during the 1980s and discredited by the late 1990s, largely because of unsubstantiated victim claims. Yet, what happened to me—and my parents’ confession letters—directly challenges those proclamations. In fact, my parents’ confession letters, their confessions to law enforcement, and their excommunication from their church, provides new evidence that researchers and skeptics of SRA haven’t had before. Without such evidence, I can understand why SRA hasn’t received stronger belief and support in the past. One of my hopes is that Hell Minus One will encourage critics—from law enforcement, to mental health professionals and even the media—to reconsider the satanic ritual abuse question.
Q. Why do cultists engage in this behavior? What do they get out of it?
Anne: From my point of view, it was justification to gratify sexualized addiction to violence and perversion. Also, I witnessed them employing the most deranged of behaviors – determined to call down the powers of darkness and evil – believing that it would give them an advantage of power over other people, and extraordinary means to obtain money.
Q. The SRA you experienced occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. If you Google Satanic Ritual Abuse, hundreds of SRA sites are listed, some that offer help, some that go into disturbing detail on how to perform SRA today on family members, friends, etc. How would you compare the SRA you experienced to what is being done today?
Anne: After scanning the Internet about SRA practices for only a few hours more than a year ago, I decided that I would never again subject myself to the mind-rotting material I saw and read.
What I did understand is that the purpose and intent of SRA doesn’t seem to have changed, although the implementation techniques have developed dramatically, becoming more bizarre, brutal and inhumane.
Q. To readers who are victims of SRA, what would you recommend that they do?
Anne: Most importantly, I would want them to know that they have options. I would urge them to have courage and seek out help in any way that they can – to get away and stay away from evil bondage. If your family is sick and toxic – entrenched in evil and criminal activity – don’t go back to them. You can’t save them, but you can save yourself.
I would want them to realize that they have the God-given right to their own lives and identity, and that they have inner signals to guide them as to where to turn.
Q. To readers who worship Satan, or practice SRA, what would you recommend that they do?
Anne: To those who practice Satanism, they have the right to do whatever that want – but not when it is a crime.
Having witnessed the soul-sickening practice of Satanism, I would advise them to get out, whatever the price, before it’s too late.
Q. What purpose or design do you hope or intend Hell Minus One will accomplish?
Anne: My hope and prayer is that Hell Minus One will be a beacon of light out of darkness – a message of hope and courage – that we can all overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The epigraph in my book reminds us: we have all been endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to our lives, liberty and happiness.
Q. In your book, you explain why you and your husband chose not to seek criminal and civil charges against your parents. Now that several years have passed since that decision, do you regret it? Yes or no, why do you feel that way?
Anne: No, I don’t regret it. To this day, I don’t feel that at the time, with society’s mind-set about SRA and false-memory syndrome, it would have resulted in a fair trial. Instead of my parents being the focus, it would have been me and whether or not I was telling the truth—even though my parents had already written confession letters, confessed to detectives from the Utah Attorney General’s Office, and were excommunicated from their church. Something deep inside warned me that it would have resulted in a media explosion that would have torn my little family and me apart.

The Remarkable Transformation Of One Child - CBS Evening News: After Being Subjected To Unspeakable Abuse, Mia Was Nearly Lost 2/17/09 by John Blackstone (CBS)...."The level of terror, when the pediatrician saw her, the neurologist saw her, everyone said: 'what in the world happened to this child?'" Behrens said. According to Thom Snyder, the deputy district attorney of Kings County, Calif., the abuse Mia suffered was ritualistic -- "Satanic in some way," he said. Snyder knows well what happened to Mia when she was less than a year old. "She was an infant, but she was grievously sexually abused in ways that I think for the average individual . would be incomprehensible," he said. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 3,300,000 reports of child abuse are made every year in the United States. And more than 80 percent of abused children carry lasting scars as an adult suffering from depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, according to the National Clearinghouse of Child Abuse and Neglect. Mia's abuse was discovered after her father killed her baby sister. Mia had been abused since she was born. "She drew biting monsters. She drew naked women lying in pools of blood - the most ghastly pictures you can imagine a three-and-a-half year old drawing," said Dr. Lenore Terr, a child psychiatrist....After years of treatment for wounds both mental and physical, there's a different Mia. She's a smiling, confident young woman. She told CBS News: "They thought I would never be able to socialize. They thought I would never be able to talk with people. I would be, like, in an animal state, like, growling, biting, scratching, hitting, screaming and stuff." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/17/eveningnews/main4808278.shtml

Critique of the Goodman study
Overview of what occurred after I requested a review of Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of Ritualistic child abuse by Dr. Gail Goodman, Phillip Shaver, and Bette Bottoms - Diana Napolis, M.A.
In December 2007 I reviewed the pivotal research study .Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of Ritualistic Child Abuse,. by UC Davis.Dr. Gail Goodman, Dr. Phillip Shaver, and Bette Bottoms, which had been funded by the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in 1994. Thisbody of work has been used throughout the United States in attempts toprove that the scientific community found no evidence to support thebelief that satanic ritual cult abuse of children was occurring in the United States except in very rare instances. Regardless of the conclusions reached, it appears that there was substantial and persuasive evidence provided to the researchers which indicated that ritual abuse was occurring on a grand scale, despite what appears to have been repeated attempts made to minimize and disguise these findings.
It will be difficult to understand my critique without accessing Dr.Goodman's original study and the 1996 article titled, "An Analysis of Ritualistic and Religion-Related Child Abuse Allegations" by these sameauthors, so I urge others to download this material. In an article published in the New York Times titled, .Proof Lacking for Ritual Abuse by Satanists," by Daniel Goleman, he quoted Dr. Gail Goodman's representations of this study:
"In a survey of more than 11,000 psychiatric and police workersthroughout the country, conducted for the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, researchers found more than 12,000 accusations ofgroup cult sexual abuse based on satanic ritual, but not one thatinvestigators had been able to substantiate. “ This is a false representation about what this study actually revealed. The researchers did not receive anywhere near that high of a return rate - it was actually less than 2000 reports which were examined, which means there was an intentional and blatant attempt to misrepresent their findingsin this news article. It was discovered that this propaganda is posted on numerous web sites in efforts to prove that satanic crime does not occur.
On pg. 46 of .Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of RitualisticChild Abuse,. Dr. Goodman also wrote: "One respondent cited as evidence the ritual abuse behavior checklist - a dubious diagnostic checklist which includes many behaviors common to childhood." (Gould, 1986). Dueto that statement, I have posted a copy of Dr. Catherine Gould'schecklist on my web site, and as the reader will see, these are clearly abnormal behaviors of children that are being described and there is nothing dubious about it.
Dr. Goodman concluded by stating: Our research leads us to believe that there are many more children being abused in the name of God than inthe name of Satan.. I found that an odd and inappropriate remark tomake given the fact that Dr. Goodman received more reports of ritualabuse than she received about religion-based abuse. In order to makeher case Dr Goodman used as her examples cases of child abuse or murder which were clearly committed by Christians who were mentally ill, not mainstream Christians, therefore I believe it was inappropriate tosuggest that these crimes were committed in the name of God. The belief systems of mainstream Christianity do not condone criminal or aberrant behavior but the belief systems of Satanists most certainly do and theritual abuse crimes she was reviewing were in line with those satanic beliefs. Therefore, it is obvious that there is much more serious crimecommitted by satanists in the name of Satan. Further, cases of Christian medical neglect are not equivalent in severity to ritualabuse therefore I believe it was inappropriate for these academics to argue against the enactment of ritual abuse laws based on these arguments.
As further evidence which supports my opinion that there were purposeful attempts to distort the facts, after the American Psychological Association (APA) gave Dr. Goodman an award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Research in 2005,Dr. Goodman's response was published in the American Psychologist, November 2005 issue, in an article entitled Wailing Babies in her Wake.She stated in reference to this study:
"Our survey revealed that there was essentially no hard evidence of organized, child abusing, satanic cults that had infiltrated preschools or the FBI or that had kidnapped or slain babies. In contrast there wasmuch indirect evidence of clinical induction of false memories and plentiful evidence of religion-related abuse, including sexual abuse by Catholic priests. Although much of my research indicates that children can have largely accurate memories and can resist strong suggestions, they can, in contrast (as indicated by the dramatic examples of ritual abuse claims) also tell wild tales, cave in to misleading questions, and make important errors. The same is true of some adults, of course. All of the books about personal cases of SRA were written by adults who seem to have believed their own stories."
This pseudo-analysis does not accurately recount the facts either. Dr.Goodman has disseminated further propaganda in other publications and I have updated my critique to reflect this information. These articles are: "Children's Eyewitness Memory: A Modern History and Contemporary Commentary,". Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 62, No.4, 2006, pg. 818;and "Interviewing Children in and out of Court,". The APSAC Handbook on Child Maltreatment, pg. 356. http://members.cox.net/court50/goodmanoverview.pdf

Critique of Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of Ritualistic Child Abuse,. 2008, (Diana Napolis, M.A) posted at http://members.cox.net/dnap/goodmancritique.pdf
The researchers claimed throughout this study that organized,intergenerational, sexually molesting satanic cults did not exist, andthat a small number of clinicians and agencies were responsible for the most reports of satanic ritual abuse. I am contesting both of these conclusions. In my opinion, there were too many methodological flaws, too much data was arbitrarily excluded, the conclusions reached were unsupportable and not based on the data gathered, and researcher bias, if not blatant manipulation, was prevalent throughout this researchstudy.
I believe that there were ongoing attempts by the researchers to psychologically manipulate the reader into disbelieving that certain satanic practices existed by making value judgments about these practices from the start. The researchers continued to categorize reports of torture, cannibalism and murder as "bizarre" and "extreme,"and by the continual usage of those "buzz words," it served as a"thought stopping" propaganda technique, intended to influence the reader into agreeing with the researchers assessments and conclusions. As unfortunate as it is, these are the practices of satanists and blackmagic practitioners world wide which a Lexis/Nexis search of "satan" "devil worship" and "ritual" would reveal.
Overall, there were too many serious methodological errors and omissions in this study to ignore and, in some instances, I believe, the researchers were caught in outright fabrications.

It was discovered that this propaganda is posted on numerous web sites in efforts to prove that satanic crime does not occur.
On pg. 46 of .Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of RitualisticChild Abuse,. Dr. Goodman also wrote: "One respondent cited as evidence the ritual abuse behavior checklist - a dubious diagnostic checklist which includes many behaviors common to childhood." (Gould, 1986). Dueto that statement, I have posted a copy of Dr. Catherine Gould'schecklist on my web site, and as the reader will see, these are clearly abnormal behaviors of children that are being described and there is nothing dubious about it.
Dr. Goodman concluded by stating: Our research leads us to believe that there are many more children being abused in the name of God than inthe name of Satan.. I found that an odd and inappropriate remark tomake given the fact that Dr. Goodman received more reports of ritualabuse than she received about religion-based abuse. In order to makeher case Dr Goodman used as her examples cases of child abuse or murder which were clearly committed by Christians who were mentally ill, not mainstream Christians, therefore I believe it was inappropriate tosuggest that these crimes were committed in the name of God. The belief systems of mainstream Christianity do not condone criminal or aberrant behavior but the belief systems of Satanists most certainly do and theritual abuse crimes she was reviewing were in line with those satanic beliefs. Therefore, it is obvious that there is much more serious crimecommitted by satanists in the name of Satan. Further, cases of Christian medical neglect are not equivalent in severity to ritualabuse therefore I believe it was inappropriate for these academics to argue against the enactment of ritual abuse laws based on these arguments.
As further evidence which supports my opinion that there were purposeful attempts to distort the facts, after the American Psychological Association (APA) gave Dr. Goodman an award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Research in 2005,Dr. Goodman's response was published in the American Psychologist, November 2005 issue, in an article entitled Wailing Babies in her Wake.She stated in reference to this study:
"Our survey revealed that there was essentially no hard evidence of organized, child abusing, satanic cults that had infiltrated preschools or the FBI or that had kidnapped or slain babies. In contrast there wasmuch indirect evidence of clinical induction of false memories and plentiful evidence of religion-related abuse, including sexual abuse by Catholic priests. Although much of my research indicates that children can have largely accurate memories and can resist strong suggestions, they can, in contrast (as indicated by the dramatic examples of ritual abuse claims) also tell wild tales, cave in to misleading questions, and make important errors. The same is true of some adults, of course. All of the books about personal cases of SRA were written by adults who seem to have believed their own stories."
This pseudo-analysis does not accurately recount the facts either. Dr.Goodman has disseminated further propaganda in other publications and I have updated my critique to reflect this information. These articles are: "Children's Eyewitness Memory: A Modern History and Contemporary Commentary,". Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 62, No.4, 2006, pg. 818;and "Interviewing Children in and out of Court,". The APSAC Handbook on Child Maltreatment, pg. 356. http://members.cox.net/court50/goodmanoverview.pdf

Critique of Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of Ritualistic Child Abuse,. 2008, (Diana Napolis, M.A) posted at http://members.cox.net/dnap/goodmancritique.pdf
The researchers claimed throughout this study that organized,intergenerational, sexually molesting satanic cults did not exist, andthat a small number of clinicians and agencies were responsible for the most reports of satanic ritual abuse. I am contesting both of these conclusions. In my opinion, there were too many methodological flaws, too much data was arbitrarily excluded, the conclusions reached were unsupportable and not based on the data gathered, and researcher bias, if not blatant manipulation, was prevalent throughout this researchstudy.
I believe that there were ongoing attempts by the researchers to psychologically manipulate the reader into disbelieving that certain satanic practices existed by making value judgments about these practices from the start. The researchers continued to categorize reports of torture, cannibalism and murder as "bizarre" and "extreme,"and by the continual usage of those "buzz words," it served as a"thought stopping" propaganda technique, intended to influence the reader into agreeing with the researchers assessments and conclusions. As unfortunate as it is, these are the practices of satanists and blackmagic practitioners world wide which a Lexis/Nexis search of "satan" "devil worship" and "ritual" would reveal.
Overall, there were too many serious methodological errors and omissions in this study to ignore and, in some instances, I believe, the researchers were caught in outright fabrications.

Satanic Ritual Abuse
Satanic Ritual Abuse
Satanic ritual abuse exists all over the world. There have been reports, journal articles, web pages and criminal convictions of these horrific crimes against children and adults.
There has also been an attempted cover up of these crimes by child pornographers, those with pro-pedophilia philosophies and those defending child molesters in the public or legal arena.

What is Ritual Abuse?
"...is methodical abuse, often using indoctrination, aimed at breaking the will of another human being. In a 1989 report, the Ritual Abuse Task Force of the L.A. County Commission for Women defined ritual abuse as: "Ritual Abuse usually involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time. The physical abuse is severe, sometimes including torture and killing. The sexual abuse is usually painful, humiliating, intended as a means of gaining dominance over the victim. The psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual indoctrination. It includes mind control techniques which convey to the victim a profound terror of the cult members ...most victims are in a state of terror, mind control and dissociation" (Pg. 35-36) "Safe Passage to Healing", by Chrystine Oksana, 1994, HarperCollins, which is an excellent source for survivor and co-survivors on the topic, though there is a newer edition out by iuniverse.com (2001)

Lacter, E (2008-02-11). "Brief Synopsis of the Literature on the Existence of Ritualistic Abuse". http://endritualabuse.org/Brief Synopsis.htm
Bottoms, Shaver and Goodman in their 1993 study to evaluate ritual abuse claims found that in 2,292 alleged ritual abuse cases, 15% of the perpetrators in adult cases and 30% of the perpetrators in child cases confessed to the abuse. Data from Brown, Scheflin and Hammond (1998). ''Memory, Trauma Treatment, And the Law'' (W. W. Norton) ISBN 0-393-70254-5 (p.62) Bottoms, B. Shaver, P. & Goodman, G.

On Page 170 (first edition), of Cult and Ritual Abuse - Noblitt and Perskin(Praeger, 1995) states "One of the best sources of evaluative research on ritual abuse is the article "Ritual Abuse: A Review of Research" by Kathleen Coulborn Faller (1994)....in a survey of 2,709 members of the American Psychological Association, it was found that 30 percent of these professionals had seen cases of ritual or religion-related abuse (Bottoms, Shaver & Goodman, 1991). Of those psychologists who have seen cases of ritual abuse, 93 percent believed that the reported harm took place and 93 percent believed that the alleged ritualism occurred. This is a remarkable finding. Mental health professionals are known to be divergent in their thinking and frequently do not agree with one another regarding questions of the diagnosis and etiology of psychiatric problems...this level of concurrence in a large national sample of psychologists...would be impressive....the similar research of Nancy Perry (1992) which further supports (the previous findings)...Perry also conducted a national survey of therapists who work with clients with dissociative disorders and she found that 88 percent of the 1,185 respondents indicated "belief in ritual abuse, involving mind control and programming" (p. 3)."

Quotes from the book: "By the time Cheryl Hersha came to the facility, knowledge of multiple personality was so complete that doctors understood how the mind separated into distinct ego states, each unaware of the other. First, the person traumatized had to be both extremely intelligent and under the age of seven, two conditions not yet understood though remaining consistent as factors. The trauma was almost always of a sexual nature..." p. 52 "The government researchers, aware of the information in the professional journals, decided to reverse the process (of healing from hysteric dissociation). They decided to use selective trauma on healthy children to create personalities capable of committing acts desired for national security and defense." p. 53 - 54 The book also contains a variety of documents on mk-ultra and different projects as well as reports to the Presidential Committee on Radiation and Mind Control, including information on the five Canadians' lawsuit against the U.S. Government.
Another much maligned case is the McMartin Preschool Case - Child pornographers, those with pro-pedophilia philosophies and those defending child molesters in the pubic or legal arena have attempted to cover up the crimes against these children.
