UTICA, N.Y. – Testimony continues Tuesday in the Sarah Ferguson trial. NewsChannel 2’s Joleen Ferris is in Oneida County court live tweeting. Follow her at @joleenferris for updates.
Witness Grace Leonard, 16, took the stand. She is Sarah’s sister and a lifelong member of the Word of Life church.
Warning: Graphic testimony below (from Grace’s account)
Grace says her brother, Lucas, watched her take a shower through a peephole. She didn’t catch him, but was told by Lucas and Pastor Tiffanie.
Grace says she was moved to the attic of the family home to keep her safe and to protect her from her brothers, Christopher and Lucas. She lived up there with Sarah and her kids. (This is the same house as the Leonards.)
She also says the younger kids (Sarah’s kids), were only in the attic a few minutes at a time because she and Sarah were worried what would happen.
The kids were not allowed to watch TV with Christopher or Lucas.
