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 1 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.”
