Brief
Synopsis of the Literature on the Existence of Ritualistic Abuse
(updated by Ellen
P. Lacter, Ph.D.)
Psychological and legal evidence of
the existence
of ritual abuse is substantial and rapidly growing.
Satanism and
Ritual
Abuse Archive, by Diana Napolis, M.A., Copyright 2000 and 2007
The
following
cases
describe legal proceedings held in Juvenile, Family, Civil and Criminal
Courts around the world where there have been allegations of Satanism
or the use of Ritual to abuse others.
Any religion or
organization can be used as a front to hide ritual abuse activity,
including Christianity, Buddhism, Shamanism, Hinduism, Masonry,
Mormonism, Pagan and Satanic religions; however, not all Satanists
commit crimes and not all occultism is Satanism. It is imperative that
investigators and professionals familiarize themselves with
cross-cultural belief systems so as not to target any particular group.

Warning: Some of
the following
cases depict graphic, violent activity.
The psychological literature supports
that ritualistic
abuse is a real phenomenon that must be correctly assessed and treated

A recent review of the empirical
evidence of ritual
abuse is included in a book by Noblitt and Perskin (Cult and Ritual
Abuse,
2000, Chapter 6). One national survey of 2709 clinical psychologists
showed
that 30% claimed to have seen at least one case of "ritualistic or
religion-based
abuse" and 93% of these psychologists believed the harm actually
occurred
(Goodman, Qin, Bottoms, & Shaver, 1994). Noblitt reports that,
"In
a survey of the membership of the International Society for the Study
of
Multiple Personality and Dissociation, [Nancy] Perry concluded that 88%
of 1185 respondents reported belief in ritual abuse, involving mind
control
and programming". (Paper presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the
American
Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Fort Worth, Texas,
March 18, 1998, adapted from Noblitt, 1998;
Accessing
Dissociated Mental States, referring to Perrys findings published in
the
International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and
Dissociation
Newsletter, 1992, p. 4).
The American Psychiatric Press published a
text
in 1997 explaining the importance of correct assessment and treatment
of
ritualistic abuse survivors (The Dilemma of Ritual Abuse: Cautions and
Guides for Therapists, edited by Fraser).
A ritual abuse search on Amazon.com of
books
on August 8, 2003 found 36 books on treating survivors, self-help for
survivors,
and supporting the existence of ritual abuse. This list is posted on
this
web-site on the page, "Books and videotapes on ritual abuse (including
Brice Taylor Trust Materials)".
September 4, 2002, United States Marshals
in
Oregon arrested Russell Smith, accused child rapist and self-proclaimed
Satanist. He was wanted by the Prince William County Police Department
in Virginia for rape and sodomy of a child. According to authorities,
Smith
convinced a young girl to become involved in satanic rituals, and part
of those rituals involved having sex with her
(http://www2.amw.com/amw.html).
Police found in his basement a goats skull with a pentagram drawn on
it,
black robes, girls' underwear, and ceremonial candles. His license
plate
read 100P666". Smith was profiled on "America's Most Wanted on 8-31-02.
The broadcast led to his arrest. Due to these allegations, the Satanic
group he founded as Rev. Sorath, Order of Perdition, has excommunicated
him (Washington Post, 8-27-02, p. B03, 8-30-02, p. B01).
Numerous court decisions (criminal, family,
juvenile,
and civil) have been based on findings of ritual abuse. One list is
archived,
periodically updated, and published on the world-wide web by "Karen
Curio
Jones" (http://www.newsmakingnews.com/karencuriojonesarchive.htm).
In August, 2002, 65 cases were presented in this archive. For example,
on February 27, 1999, the Honorable Warren K. Urbom, Senior United
States
District Judge, Omaha, Nebraska, awarded a million dollar civil
judgement
to Paul
Bonacci
based on sexual abuse
(including
pornography and orgies) and false imprisonment of Bonacci as a child,
in
the infamous Franklin ritual cult/sex/drug ring case. This case is
discussed
in depth in John De Camps 1994 book, "The Franklin Cover-Up", and on
the
internet at: http://www.iahf.com/other/20001202a.html.
The post-trial geological survey under the
McMartin
preschool's foundation yielded convincing corroboration of the
children's
reports of being taken through underground tunnels ("The Dark Tunnels
of
McMartin", Summit, R.C., http://www.geocities.com/kidhistory/mcmartin.htm
)
A good deal more information on ritual
abuse
would be available if it were not for the secrecy preserved by the
underground
groups that commit such abuse, the profound dissociative responses and
fear of disclosure among its victims (Fraser; 1997b; Young &
Young,
1997), and the sophisticated use of mind control by some abuser groups.
Proponents of the position that memories of ritual abuse are false or
grossly
exaggerated, e.g., the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, claim
therapists
lead clients to believe they were ritually abused and have had
considerable
influence on the media and a considerable presence in the courts. Thus,
psychotherapists treating victims of these abuses are often guarded
about
divulging this clinical data, sharing their findings with their
colleagues,
or worse, they discount the reports of their clients, resulting in
further
suppression of this information (Brown, Scheflin, & Hammond,
1998;
Coons, 1997; Whitfield, Silberg, & Fink, 2002; Young &
Young,
1997).
