One of Kevin Owen Dean's victims speaks out:
This is my the post I made this morning on Facebook.
I have been dealing with other things and was delayed in posting about the court case with my predator from high school. I had no idea about this article until my friend sent it to me this morning.
This article, in a nutshell tells the story of how we got that lame excuse for a man in jail for LIFE!!! We (the ladies that came forward) got to watch Kevin Owen Dean get sentenced on Zoom last Wednesday. We are very fortunate that we got to see justice prevail. We cannot un-ring that bell but it is nice to have some idea of closure in the knowledge that he can't hurt anyone in that way ever again. I have been waiting 36 years for this. Karma is a thing and it will pay you back.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING if anyone ever touched you in the wrong way. The statute of limitations has been lifted. The possibility of catching your predator is REAL. Child molesters are sometimes relatives and/or like to hide in churches, schools, youth groups, etc.
*Special note to parents. When your child, male or female comes to you and tells you a horrific story, YOU BETTER LISTEN AND FOLLOW UP!!!! Lots of people keep molesting because the kids are afraid to say anything because they think they will get in trouble and won't be believed. (That was exactly the case with the 3 of us girls. Our parents protected the predator because he was a high ranking person in our church.)
I am grateful to my friend for reaching out to me back in 2010 to tell me her story. I am grateful to another woman who reached out to me just 2 weeks ago and I was able to put her in touch with the DA. I am grateful that the step-granddaughter told her mother and that mother believed her. I cannot take the pain away from these women, but I love and commend them for their bravery, tenacity and courage.
By law, the prosecution has to share the witness list with the defense. When Dean found out that the 4 of us were coming IN PERSON to testify against him, he caved and switched his plea to guilty.
Special thanks to Lindsay Raynor, Assistant District Attorney -Cobb Judicial Circuit and Jessica Hines, Victim/Witness Advocate, Special Victims Unit Cobb County, District Attorney's Office for all of your help, understanding and perseverance on this case. I also want to give thanks to Sharon M. Fox, the retired Senior Assistant District Attorney who started this case back in 2010. xoxoxoxo
I do offer my condolences to his 2 daughters; I hope he left them alone.
LET THE HEALING BEGIN!!!

I am glad these women stood up and held this piece of shit accountable! Now if only more would come forward about other COG ministers who were and still are pedophiles. UCG has covered up for many in their group. COGWA has a couple and PCG does too. WCG had quite a few and almost all of them jumped ship and joined a splinter group. Name names and go after the corporate churches for allowing these men to abuse children at church activities and at the summer camps.
ReplyDeleteNow if only more would come forward about other COG ministers who were and still are pedophiles. UCG has covered up for many in their group. COGWA has a couple and PCG does too.
ReplyDeleteLCG does, too. RCG had at least one who left and started his own cult. It's a widespread problem, just as common among these men who "have the Holy Spirit" as it is among non-COG people.
Sadly not all states let u go after pedo's like others. Multiple states have a sorry statute of limitations I seem to remember TX it's no time limit if under 16 & NC has NO limits period for rape or incest so please if y'all know anyone on that side of Charlotte get that to them somehow. Good luck to all of the brave Women & Children stuck in those "High maintenance Bible based Thought Reforming fear & trance inducing
ReplyDeleteorganizations" or Bible based brain-washing fear using yelling & sing song hypnotic cultic churches (Look up the meaning of the word cult and it applies to all religions and modern military's). Oh just remembered that in the USA unless it breaks a major
normal law ecclesiastical law says u are the property of the church you belong to Ciao :)
ReplyDeleteWhether you go to a godless cult like Victor Kubic's UCG or to a satanic cult like Gerald Flurry's PCG, perverts are always present. The perverts are welcomed in, kept, supported, and even hired and promoted. Their victims are slandered and kicked out. This is just one more reason why the so-called COGs are such an EMBARRASSMENT. Try explaining to someone in the world why these cults always do the exact opposite of what is right and just. Try explaining to someone in the world why these cults kick people out for not going along with old sex perverts.
Jeffrey Fall in LCG covers for at least one pervert. Sex trips for underaged girls in the Philippines isn’t christlike. But Jeffrey knows best and still lets that creep attend.
ReplyDeletePastors love sex with those in Philippines. No wonder many Ministers love it there.
