[hmm]

i noticed this story while browsing around the web.It has some aspects to it that seem relevant to RI<br> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://wireservice.wired.com/wired/story.asp?section=Breaking&storyId=1066171&tw=wn_wire_story">wireservice.wired.com/wir...wire_story</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla.

Interesting, particularly in light of the Hosanna Church case (aka coverup). I've covered it here (as has Jeff), and there is more in-depth info on my site.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.charm.net/~profpan">www.charm.net/~profpan</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I doubt there's any real connection between the two cases, other than the religious angle. But it's useful to pay attention to emerging themes.<br><br>And the alleged involvement of a female perpetrator does lift it above the usual profile, especially if the abuse was organized. <br><br>RE: Hosanna Church, I received a confirmation from the Sheriff's office that the department is sticking by its allegations of the ritual elements and evidence. Funny that the DA's office (now in charge of the case) decided to drop all references to ritual elements from the case. Not so funny at all, really.<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
