Brooke Bennett’s uncle, Michael Jacques, has been in police custody since Sunday on charges of sexual assault which involves another underage girl. He is now, also being charged with kidnapping and, from the looks of it, eventually the murder of Brooke Bennett. Michael Jacques is not new to the justice system. In 1993, he was convicted of sexual assault and kidnapping. He is also a registered sex offender in Vermont.
A 14 year old girl has come forward stating that she had been part of this sex ring for 5 years. At the age of 9 she was approached to enter the sex ring under the impression that this was all in service of the President of the United States. She had to perform the sex acts to prove her worth. It is said that 3 other adult males had participated. This would have been Brooke Bennett’s future.
About 300 people showed up for Brooke Bennett’s memorial to show their support. Among the mourners were family members who have been through a missing child case. It is a sad day for Randolph, Vermont and I am sure that the whole country mourns for Brooke Bennett and her family.
