Alleged child abusers thought daughter was possessed
A Wisconsin couple accused of severely abusing their 14-year-old daughter claimed in court that they thought the girl “had the devil inside her.” Yeah, we don’t think the method they employed of removing said devil is found anywhere in the Bible.
Minerva Lopez, 32, was charged with 16 counts of child abuse, and her husband, Porfirio Olivas-Lopez, 38, was charged with 11 counts of child abuse for allegedly beating the girl.
Most of the abuse, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court, was done by Lopez, who readily admitted to town of Madison police Detective Robb Hale that from April to September she beat the girl with a broomstick, a metal rod, a frying pan and other objects.
Hale said in an interview that this was the most severe case of child abuse he’s ever investigated. He called it “highly likely” that more charges will be filed against the couple.
