Derek Marlan Layton accused, convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for “Sexual conduct with minor and dangerous crimes against children”
“Mormons Tried to Cover Up Their ” Members” Molestation of my Three Children.
AUTHOR: Michelle – (U.S.A.) SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 05, 2005
“Once upon a time there was a good upstanding Mormon boy, Derek Marian Layton, that was our part time babysitter and worked for my company. We finally found out that he had been molesting our three children for four years, and severely molesting them and threatening them not to tell, or he would kill their parents.”
“To make a long, long story short, Once he was arrested the Mormon Community came forward to protect Derek. The press wouldn’t cover the story, “Largest Known Molest case in the State of Arizona at the time. We had fine upstanding Mormon citizens harassing us about picking on Derek. The mormon community bailed him out of jail.”
“We spent a year and a half with court hearings, and Me, A mother, that believed I knew what was in the best interest of my children and my family. 1 fought an uphill battle and with evidence fit to bury any king.”
“Derek Marian Layton was sentenced, not to what the Mormon community wanted, Probation, LOL, but to what a bitter and angry mother defending her children wanted. TWENTY FIVE YEARS FLAT in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Parents, you can beat the Mormons in Court, Stick to your guns, pray a lot and fight like Hell for your Childrens Rights.”
