	Ex-church Member Recalls Mohler Family, Believes Sex Abuse Charges By John Pepitone Fox 4 November 20, 2009 http://www.fox4kc.com/wdaf-story-mohler-church-member-112009,0,369109.story [with video] INDEPENDENCE, MO - A former member of the Mormom Church who attended services with the victims in the Mohler child sex case says that she remembers the girls talking about sexual abuse at the hands of their father, and even claims that one of the alleged assaults happened at church. "Nicole," 27, who asked that her identity not be revealed because of fears of retribution, says that her memories of the victims fit with the shocking accusations of sexual abuse. Nicole says that one of the victims worked as a babysitter, caring for her and her siblings. She says that she remembers the babysitter using Barbie dolls to demonstrate sexual acts. "Ken was daddy, and little girl was daughter, or husband and daughter," said Nicole. "She was bending the dolls over, in multiple positions, making different noises, different sounds. I actually almost threw up thinking about it, but she in one scenario, the Ken doll and the Barbie, Barbie didn't want to do what Den doll wanted, so Ken doll stuck his hand out and was slapping her." The alleged victims named so far in the Lafayette County investigation are all the children of one of the suspects, Burrell Mohler Jr. They were members of the Mormon Church at the time of the alleged crimes, and Nicole says that she remembers attending services with them. Nicole says that her parents reported the incidents to the Mormon bishop but nothing happened. She says that when she was 11 or 12, she remembers another Mohler sister talking about being sexually assaulted while at church. "She was crying, said Nicole. "I pretty much asked her why, what was going on, and she was saying her dad and some other gentlemen, she didn't say who, she said some other guy, they've been touching her private spots. She put her hand between her legs and was showing. Long story short I got up spooked out, walked off and told my parents." Nicole, who says she left the Mormon Church before she turned 20, says this time her parents pushed the bishop to call police, but says that they back down after the church responded by threatening to excommunicate her family.
