“There are no words to describe the heartbreak of the trauma that these children faced and will live with for the rest of their lives. I am thankful that two of these victims were brave enough to let someone know, which resulted in the arrest of this predator. This was great teamwork between our agency and our community partners, to ensure these victims do not have to see this monster again,” Manahan said.
