No witnesses.
Joyce Sparks, Children’s Protective Services Investigations supervisor, Waco, interviewed a young girl, a former compound resident, on February 22, 1993:
“[She] entered the cult when she was about three or four years old. . . .
We asked her if she could think of any reason that any of the children at the compound would not be safe and as we got into this discussion, she brought up the topic of sexual abuse. She described herself as special and treated differently than other children. She talked about spending time alone with David and although this was ‘scary’ she felt ‘privileged.’
She explained to us that on one occasion, when she was ten years old, her mother left her in a motel room with David Koresh. He was in bed and he told [her] to come over to him. She got into the bed. David had no pants on. He took off her panties and touched her and then got on top of her. . . .
We talked about how she was feeling when this happened and she responded . . . ‘scared.’ When asked what else she felt, she responded . . . ‘privileged.’ When asked what David would do if he knew she was telling us about this, [she] rolled her eyes and said . . . ‘I wouldn’t even want to think about it.’
We asked if she knew about any other girls who had experienced this and she said yes. She reported that she knew about Michelle Jones. When asked how she knew this, she explained that David had talked about having sex with Michelle when she was fourteen. He told in a Bible study once what it was like when he had sex with Michelle.”
Michelle Jones died inside the compound on April 19, 1993.
And they used bulldozers to push any evidence of government culpability into the fire.
