I am so pleased that this young man came forward and named his abuser. Now he can begin his healing.

February 24, 2012

"A retired two-star U.S. Army general admitted Friday in Washington County Circuit Court to the long-term sexual abuse of a young relative.

The victim, who lived out of state, visited the couple twice a year on summer and holiday vacations. The abuse occurred during those visits "like clockwork," Barton said. In addition to physical sex abuse, the victim said, Heldstab showed him adult and child *advertiser censored* and images of bestiality...."
