Case No. 0871Sexual abuse (alleged), protection order

Man granted protection order over alleged sexual abuse at Family Law Court

A man told a Family Law Court that his father had created a false narrative that he had sex with his mother, playing recordings to his brother. The man stated his mother had never touched, harmed, or raped him, and that his father had told the siblings they needed to convince the son and his mother to sign a legal document to avoid 10 years in prison. Judge Adrian Harris granted the man a Protection Order against his father. The judge adjourned the case until October, with the Protection Order remaining in place until then.
