Shattered Trust: The Shari Karney Story Page #2

what it means to us.

I didn't say yes,

I said I'll read the file.

What are you doing?

Want to hear something?

This is a regular church going guy,

middle-class, educated,

he even coaches Little League.

It's 3 o'clock in the morning.

I'm almost done.

Mark,

This child is performing sex on her dolls,

that is a classic sign of sexual abuse

You don't need that Shari.

We don't need this.

All right.

Let's go to bed.

Call me when you've finished.

It's Christie.

Hi there.

My name is Shari.

Can you tell me your name?

I think, I'd like to hold you.

Can I do that,

will you let me hold you?

It's gonna be OK.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Your Honour,

a 3 year old child has not learned

to perform sex acts from story books.

She does not learn to identify the male

sex organ from watching television.

The only way Christie Holland

could become familiar with

anal and oral sex is from experience.

For the past 12 months, she's spent every other

week-end with her father, Darryl Holland.

Medical testimony will reveal

that Christie has vaginal and anal

scarring that are almost a year old.

She bleeds, she has rashes and pain

when urinating.

Your Honour,

Darryl Holland is committing incest

with his daughter.

It's up to this court to protect Christie

from the likes of Darryl Holland

by removing her from his custody

and barring him from having any

further unsupervised contact with her.

Your Honour, it's a well known fact

that in many cases of divorce

one party will often use the children

as a tool to strike back against the other.

How many times have we heard

that classic story of the

embittered wife who brain washes

her children into making

ugly, baseless accusations

against their father.

Two years ago, Darlene and Darryl Holland

went through an acrimonious divorce

from which Darlene still harbours

a great deal of anger and resentment.

This entire case is nothing

but a vendetta.

It's a smear campaign against a loving,

caring father by his vindictive ex-wife.

And you had no idea that your husband

was sexually abusing your daughter?

No, it never crossed my mind.

Who would ever dream a grown man

would do something like that to a baby.

What changed your mind?

My boyfriend Artie.

He thought something was going on.

He wasn't the first to mention,

there was a boy friend before

who also thought something was wrong.

I got this book on incest, I read it,

I got really scared.

No further questions.

You mentioned another boyfriend,

Mrs. Holland, isn't it true that

you've lived with a series of

boy friends since your divorce?

Objection.

I merely try to establish the kind of

environment the child has been living in.
