Crime Stories with Nancy Grace In the Valley of Sin: "Child victim:" I lied, Dad never molested me!
In the Valley Of Sin" is a six-hour docuseries that examines the mid-90's witch-hunt that pitted neighbor against neighbor in Wenatchee, Washington, when police uncovered a monstrous child sex ring known among its membership as 'The Circle.'
Local authorities alleged that dozens of children were raped in the bedrooms of their parents, in the homes of their neighbors, and at ritualized orgies on the altar of a church. But there was one problem: there was no sex ring, a truth that only emerged after 43 parents were arrested and dozens of children were made wards of the state.
Today, Nancy Grace speaks with the foster daughter of Detective Bob Perez, the little girl who was driven through town to point out homes where she had been molested.
