[FEMALE VICTIM]: Uh, and he put me on the sink and uh, proceeded to try to.. Um, “enter me,” and I said I had AIDS, and I had told him to put on a condom.

[FEMALE VICTIM]: And, um.. He just smirked at me, he knew, he- he thought I was lying, which I- I was, and I knew that he didn’t believe me.

[FEMALE VICTIM]: And I said, “C’mon, why don’t you just put on a rubber,” I said, “C’mon.” And he was try- I was fighting him a little bit, I- I was trying, y’know, I didn’t want him to penetrate me without the rubber.

[FEMALE VICTIM]: I said, “Let me go! I won’t scream, I’ll show you where the rubber is,” and so then I went into the bedroom area and I took uh, the rubber out- out of the drawer and I handed it to him; I didn’t see him put it on.

---
[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: ...Well first of all I would like to say, first giving honor to God, who’s the head of my life.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: The reason why I’m here today is to let the world know that there’s another murderer out there that’s accessory to my child’s murderer.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: And I would like to let everyone know that these Jeremy Strohmeyer, he’s incarcerated, but the first person that I’m going after right now, is David Cash who is accessory to my child’s murderer.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: He sat there in the bathroom, he watched it.. Did nothing, nothing at all, he could’ve went to the securities. He could’ve went to anyone. An adult. He watched his friend, his best friend as he say, go into a restroom, put his hand over his mouth.. Put his hands over my child’s mouth, where he raped her, strangled her, and- molested my child for no apparent reason.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Well, there’s something that I really don’t wanna discuss right now- at the moment, but I will let you know how, I got the call.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: I got the call that Sunday morning, well I didn’t get the phone call but my sister, she told me about whatever happened. I was so crazy, my head..

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Drug. Stunned. State of shock. Ain’t realizing what happened to my child.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: (beginning to cry)

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: And I can’t believe it..

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: You mean to tell me I gotta hear something where somebody took my child’s life? Did my child like that, she couldn’t defend herself?

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Just imagine if it was your child. Imagine if it was any human. Period. Something has to be did about this. Not only to- to David Cash for seeing it and he didn’t do nothing, or Jeremy, but anybody- out there. Because you never knew what I went through. I am suffering a lot of pain.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: I’m a 28-year-old mother. But I have- I don’t have that pretty child that you see on that screen right now. Y’know what I’m saying? So, it hurts.
---
[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: ...You know how I’m, the Brady Bunch? Marsha, Janice, Andy..

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Everybody wanna be like Marsha ‘cause there was nothing that Marsha couldn’t do. Marsha would be on the, um.. In the mirror, all into her looks. But then, um.. She could also do a Greg, do like the boy scouts and all that..

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: That’s Ronnie. There was nothing she couldn’t do, but then they asked me if she’s a runaway child.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Is she sexually active? Is she a, um, a drug addict? And, do she do drugs?

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: I was- and it pissed me off, that I cursed and I was like, “Hell no, my daughter ain’t no drug addict and she ain’t no- she ain’t sexually active.”

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: “Well you’ll be surprised what some 11-year-olds do,” is what the officer told me.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: And my words to him were, “I can’t speak for all the 11-year-olds but I know what THAT one does and it ain’t that.”
---
[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: ...When I go, it’s like I’m going for the very first time.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Like when I took her, that I didn’t wanna be there, and I knew she shouldn’t be here.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: ...I didn’t know what was happening.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: I knew that she was saying it hurt and she was crying out.. And, she looked at me and he saw her look at me and so, he yelled at me to leave the room. And not to tell, and um..

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: He threatened me. And cursed at me, and so I ran back down to my room and, hid under the blankets.

[MALE REPORTER]:How often did this happen?

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: It seemed like all the time. I must’ve been about 12, when he started..

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: (voice shaking)

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: The- the fondling that I remember, he- he would make me perform oral sex. So that was about 12, 13..

[MALE REPORTER]: 12-year-old?

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Right.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: (sniffle)

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Right.. And I think I was spared actual intercourse, because I think my sister kept intervening..

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Yeah. She knew. She always knew.

[MALE REPORTER]: You were telling your mother when your father was doing something to you?

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Right. I would ask her not to leave me home with him because, he would- I knew he was planning on doing something. And she would always leave me alone with him.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Even when I would beg her; I would clutch at her clothes and her body and say, “Don’t leave me!” She would.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: I told him no, and he was just pulling me by my arm, I was pretty, um.. Young, y’know, I didn’t weigh much, he would just pull me around like a ragdoll. And, he threw me down.. On, their bed..

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Um.. Or it might’ve been the floor of the living room. I can’t remember now. And he proceeded to just.. Rape me.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: I didn’t know then that when you’re a virgin you bleed the first time. I was unaware of that. And I was bleeding and.. Uh, there had been spots of blood and stuff on the sheets that we’d used.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: And when Darleen came home she saw that. And she acted like nothing happened.

[MALE REPORTER]: What’d she say?

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: ..She asked me if he pulled out. I didn’t know what she meant.

[MALE REPORTER]: She was afraid that he’d made you pregnant.

[YOUNG FEMALE VICTIM]: Right.

---
[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: ...Well, what I can tell you is that I was just like the psychologist said, I didn’t wanna put tremendous fear on my children, and my daughter Megan walked in someone’s home, was brutally raped and murdered.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: This is the reality of what we live. And, our children have to be made aware of who’s out there.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: We replace the fear with education.

[MOTHER OF VICTIM]: Sexual abuse has been hidden in the closet too long and it’s time that we start addressing it and making our kids, further aware.
