So he couldn't talk about what happened to him.

He couldn't talk about Kanakuk's role in all of this.

And he was one of the John Does that filed a civil case pretty soon after Pete went to prison.

And I didn't really understand all the... All I remember is, at one point, I was gonna be deposed, and other family members were gonna be deposed.

I was pregnant with my second kid at that point.

And Trey wanted to spare me from going through depositions pregnant, because it was so hard on him.

Like, the depo... Candidate's lawyers are so brutal.

They would gaslight these victims, saying things like,

Are you sure you're not just depressed and struggling because your parents have a bad marriage?

Are you sure it just wasn't an early homosexual experience and you're gay?

They're like, no, pretty sure it was the child rape.

That's why I'm not doing great.

They would try to pin it on anything but Kanakuk's negligence and Pete Newman as the reason for the civil litigation.

So then they put him under an NDA.

And I just saw that NDA for the first time after we passed Trey's Law in Texas in September.

Man, dude.

2025.

And now I know why they were so scared.

All of these victims, yeah.

Except one family refused to sign the NDA.
