Apocalyptic visions supposedly caused a New Jersey man to terrorize his family, impregnating his 3 of his 5 daughters, eat his children with boards as well as moving to avoid child protective services.  He apparently impregnated 3 of his daughters to create a “pure” family.

The nightmarish picture of a family subjected to more than a decade of threats and violence and largely cut off from the outside world is emerging in a state courthouse where prosecutors are preparing to have the man stand trial five times, one per child victim.

As the first case nears trial, questions have been raised about whether state authorities could have put a stop to the abuse sooner. Some of the crimes are alleged to have occurred while the family was under scrutiny by the state child welfare agency, and after the father had been arrested and pleaded guilty to assault and child endangerment.

At a hearing last week, the 51-year-old man’s former wife described in a calm voice her marriage to a man whose visions she said drove him to try to create “pure” family bloodlines by impregnating several of his teenage daughters.

“He said the world was going to end and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen,” the woman testified.

Arrested in 2006, he stands accused of raping five of his daughters, three of whom are believed to have given birth to a total of six children. He is being held on $1 million bond.

Having been ruled competent to stand trial earlier this year, he faces 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact.

“We plan to proceed with all five trials if necessary,” said Lisa Squitieri, the Passaic County prosecutor handling the case.

Authorities say the assaults began in the mid-1980s and lasted until 2002, when the parents separated, and occurred at residences in Paterson, East Orange, Orange and Eatontown. The time period overlaps with the family’s coming to the attention of the state’s child welfare agency.

According to court records and published reports, the girls’ father was arrested in 2000 and charged with kidnapping for allegedly trying to take three of his children from state custody at a Monmouth County medical center. He posted bail and later pleaded guilty to assault and child endangerment and was sentenced to a year’s probation.

Prosecutors in Passaic County say one of the daughters, then in her early teens, was raped as late as January 2002.

New Jersey’s Division of Youth and Family Services declined to comment, citing confidentiality requirements.

But the man’s wife and one of his daughters testified that the agency had indeed removed at least one of the children from the family’s home, and that the family had temporarily moved, first to Jersey City and then to Florida, to avoid the agency’s investigation.

Prosecutors in Monmouth County, where the charges in the kidnapping case were brought, did not return phone messages.

In her testimony, his daughter described experiencing and witnessing beatings administered with wooden boards and steel-toed boots. She said minor transgressions often were punished by the withholding of food.

The girl’s mother testified some of the babies were delivered at home and never received birth certificates, and said in at least two instances babies who died in the home were buried without authorities being notified.

The children were home-schooled, she said, and were discouraged from interacting with other kids.

“No one really asked questions of each other because somebody would tell on somebody and somebody would get in trouble,” she said.

Even after she became aware of sexual abuse, she said she was too frightened to confront him.

“I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented, or being a pedophile. I knew the word but I wouldn’t dare use it because it would result in a beating,” she said. “I’m sure my not standing up to him didn’t help the kids. They felt disempowered also. There was just a lot of fear. Everybody was threatened.”

Daryl Pennington, an attorney representing the defendant, did not return messages seeking comment.

Attorneys were back in court on March 12, when state Superior Court Judge Raymond Reddin ruled on the admissibility of the wife’s and daughter’s testimony. The state last week asked state Superior Court Judge Raymond A. Reddin in Paterson to, at the very least, allow Ayinde’s wife and a daughter to testify at trial about alleged brutal beatings and death threats Ayinde made to the entire family. The state also wanted testimony permitted about how Ayinde kept his wife and daughters away from doctors, home schooled them and cut them off from the outside world to keep the family secret from surfacing. Judge Reddin agreed Friday that such testimony is allowed in the first trial, to establish the state’s premise that the victim was mentally and physically beaten into submission.

The judge stopped short of allowing the state to introduce as part of its case any testimony about the other alleged rapes within the family unless the defense, for some reason, “opens the door to its admissibility” during trial, Reddin ruled. The first trial is scheduled to begin in April.

My Take: One Noah is enough!  Besides, Noah was never asked to be brutal to his family or to impregnate his daughters, which he did not have.  His sons had wives and children of their own.  This guy is clearly insane.  This is what we need to criminal attorney!

I suppose you could say that the man actually needs an Ottawa fraud attorney because he is pretending to be someone he is not.  Seriously though, he needs to contact a Brockville criminal lawyer.

I do feel for his family though.  I think his wife needs to contact the New Jersey divorce attorney as soon as possible.  I doubt that she will have the need of a New Jersey alimony lawyer since he will probably be in jail for very long time.  His daughters might actually need a juvenile defense law firm to help them through this, even though they may not have committed a crime.
