Why in the world should we even have to be talking about this? I know it's reality. It just sickens me.

Victim in sex case ruled not competent

AMITE — A 7-year-old named as a victim in the Hosanna Church sex abuse case is not competent to testify, state District Judge Doug Hughes ruled Monday.

Hughes issued the written ruling Monday in response to a motion by Austin “Trey” Bernard III’s attorney to quash the testimony of and videotaped statements given by the girl. --->>

Bernard faces one count of aggravated rape, accused of having sex with the girl in 2002 when she was 2. He faces no other charges at trial, but the investigation included two other alleged victims, both boys.

The girl was 5 years old when she was interviewed by experts at the Child Advocacy Center, the ruling says.

The girl “is unable to distinguish historical fact from fantasy and is unable to appreciate the gravity and importance of a trial and the role of her testimony in it,” the ruling says. --->>

Just spent some time checking out this case and who did what and who did not and Lord what a confusing case.

Some of these people were sentenced or copped please. Some are out of prison fairly fresh.

If this gave me a headache who knows what it did to those involved innocent or not?

Can only put positive vibes out into this ugly world at the moment and throw up prayers directly to Our Lady!

Edit* I know it's an older case, but if anyone has any valid links could you send them, please? I'd like to know what happened and if the children got justice.
