Thursday, court documents revealed details of child rape, sodomy and bestiality in the group of 6 Missouri men who are accused of committing these crimes against children in their family. To read the the original story, click here.
Last week, 6 victims in Missouri told authorities that they were sexually abused 15-25 years ago when they were children. They claimed that they were abused by relatives and told stories about sexual performances, mock weddings, rape with various objects and that one of them had to have an abortion at 11 years old.
Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77 and his four sons Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53; David A. Mohler, 52; Jared Leroy Mohler, 48; and Roland Neil Mohler, 47 were all been arrested in connection with suspicion of sexually abusing children.
Another victim came forward Monday, and 15 more charges were filed against family members for performing the acts on children. On Tuesday, in a hearing that included many family members, several claimed that the allegations are false.
In court documents released Thursday, one of the victims who is now 28 years old, claims that several of the sisters tried to run away in 1988, after the abuse had continued for several years. They wrote down acts of the abuse and placed them in a jar and buried them. They were caught attempting to run away and as punishment they were forced to watch one of the men sodomize their brother. The court documents list several of complaints complied by the victims so far.
Three of the six men are lay ministers at the Community of Christ Church: Burrell Mohler Sr., David Mohler, and Jared Mohler. They have since been relieved from of their duties, according to the church. The Community of Christ Church used to be part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), and split from the LDS Church in the 1800s. In 2000, the Community of Christ changed their name from the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
LDS Church headquarters are located in Salt Lake City and the church does acknowledge that the Community of Christ Church was part of their church, but that they are recognized as a different faith now.

This writer has a problem with truth. She claimed in another article that white racism was rapant in the US, which is a baldfaced lie. Knowing that, why should anyone believe anything she writes about? Her head is screwed on crooked.
That broken glass they found the other day you know for a fact was part of one of those buried jars. Who would keep broken glass laying around especially in the dirt!
White racism IS rampant in the U.S. Says the white chick, who's seen evidence of it herself (myself).
I don't believe these charges. Glass jars would remain if they were buried. Where are the bodies?
I believed the DA interned with the DA who brought charges against the Duke players. Remember the McMartin or Little Rascals case. This is the same I believe. All lies. The few women can make any charge they want and get someone else arrested and crucified in the news. That is a lot of power.
Please show us evidence! If it exists I take back what I said.
