My apologies in advance for barging into the discussion with a different topic from today's testimony.. Its regarding the sexual assault on Alexis by Martin.. I missed any of the in depth discussion on the specifics of this aspect and do understand that its actually not relevant as far as evidence introduced in this trial due to the fact this evidence is just one piece of many withheld from the jury..
Below is just a quick snipped quote from hln regarding just the basic gist of where this charge originated(ie.inappropriate groping).. I guess what floored me the most was, if I'm understanding correctly, that this actually occurred PRIOR TO MICHELE'S DEATH!?!?
Sexual abuse claim: Martin MacNeill's daughter, Alexis Somers, said she accused him of sexual abuse back in 2007, claiming he touched her inappropriately on the buttocks, according to police documents. MacNeill allegedly conceded to groping Somers, claiming he thought she was his wife, but the sexual abuse charges were dismissed and the file was sealed.

Is this correct, as it says that Martin did admit to the inappropriate groping of Alexis, but claimed it was due to his mistaking Alexis for his wife..therefor he believed that it was his wife, Michele who he was suggestively groping?. Is this correct?
If so, does anyone by chance know anymore about these circumstances as I am just really freaked out over the fact that on top of everything else that this sociopath was possibly sexually interested in his flesh/blood daughter.. And well, I certainly don't buy it for a damn second that this man somehow mistook his oldest daughter for his wife, thus the reason why he was sexually groping her..nope, not for a minute do I believe that!..: SMH:
So, is it known what he claims to have been the circumstances??.. Vs. What the truth of the matter is according to Alexis regarding what the circumstances were that led to her father sexually groping her in 2007???
TIA to anyone who may know anymore about these particular circumstances..and again my apologies for barging in with a slightly off topic question
