Description

In the Valley Of Sin" is a six-hour docu-series 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 a social worker who questioned the claims. Ultimately, Paul Glassen was fired, and he was so worried about repercussions that he moved his family, including his 5-year-old son to Canada.Joining Nancy Grace today: Paul Glassen - Fired by CPS & moved family to Canada Tom Grant - Award-winning journalist (30+ years), former reporter, KREM, Associate Professor of Journalism at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, co-executive producer of “In the Valley of Sin” and other documentaries, www.drthomasgrant.com Steve Lacy - Defense Attorney , former Mayor, East Wenatchee Dr. Teresa Gil - Professor of Psychology and Psychotherapist, 25 years Working with Child Abuse and Trauma Victims, Teresa Gil PHD.com, Author: "Women Who Were Sexually Abused as Children: Mothering, Resilience, and Protecting the Next Generation" Kathryn Lyon - Author, “Witch Hunt: A True Story of Social Hysteria and Abused Justice”, former public defender, Pierce County, Washington.
