Parents are a safe haven for children, but not in this case. It was 4:00 in the morning when 16year-old Gracie and Sophie were sitting in their friend's living room after a get together. By that time, everyone else in the house was asleep except for their friend's mom. Everything seemed fine until she started asking them weird questions and doing something they never expected. Something so disturbing it scared them enough to lock themselves in the bathroom and call their parents. You need to talk to them. Come on. You got nothing to be sorry about. Ma'am, you might as well leave them in there. I can't talk to them. Oh, okay. I got to talk to you. I can't. Okay. Okay. But you see how clearly Yeah, I do. Walton County protocol doesn't allow me to speak to the victims. This is not So, so who's who here? Obviously, they're I don't know who who Well, no. I mean, who's who? Explain. I don't know y'all. So, explain to me. Okay. All right. So, both of these are your daughters. Okay. And this is their friend's house, and they were here to spend the night with their friends. Okay. Have they ever spent the night over here before? Okay. Is this a friend from school? Okay. Who is this guy? They all came together. Okay. All right. So, start from from start to finish, tell me what happened. Okay. So, they were actually supposed to be picked up, which is not his fault, but he they called him and said they wanted to spend the night. And so, we thought they were home. I'm good here. Can you make contact with those folks? And um we just got woke up in the middle of the night. They called Carter to come get him like this hysterical. And I got on the phone and she was just like, "Come get me. Come get me. come get me. I'm scared. Which is so unlike her. And I said, "What happened? Has someone hurt you?" Hey, Loganville PD. Yeah. Yes. Can I speak with the homeowner? Uh, I am. All right. Can you step outside and talk to us for a second? Yeah. And she's like, "Yes." I don't want to talk about it cuz I don't want to get him in trouble. I said, "I need to know." I said, "Calm down and tell me." And she I said, "Did someone touch you?" "Yes." I said, "Wasn't an adult?" "Yes." "A man just came out and his underwear all disheveled. Like, what's going on?" He's like I'm like, "Come talk to me." He's like, "You mind if I put some clothes on?" He's underwear. Looks like he just woke up. I said, "Who is the adult?" She said, "My friend's mom." Now, I don't know who that is inside that house. I don't know. And I said, "We are on our way. We're calling the police." I said, "Whichever one gets there first, go outside." I said, "But they were locked in a bathroom scared to death." And I don't know the situation in there. So, I said when you don't know the You don't know the people? You don't know them at all? I don't. You have you ever met them? Never. And um so they were here at a party, right? It was a birthday party. They were here to party. Okay. They were here to party. Um, did y'all know they were here? I knew they were here. Yeah. Yeah, we knew they were here. We have GPS and stuff, but um, so anyway, that's kind of where we're at. Now, elaborate on the They're saying that they were touched. So, what? We got a We got a pretty serious call that uh, two young girls were touched appropriately and they were they were running out here by a female that lives here. Maybe your wife. You have a wife here with you? Yeah. Yes. Do you know where she is? No. Yeah. There's two there. Their mother and father and brother are here. They're crying hysterically in the back of a car. What? Here. They were scared to talk about it because they didn't they didn't want to be hurt. And they've got stuff in there that they need they need to get. Okay. So, they're saying that the kid's mom Yes. And this is a female. Who's the mom? Do you know her name? Melissa. Melissa. It happened to both of you guys. She said she started kissing, put her hand over her shirt. She didn't know what to do. So that's But she The officers were about to find out that there were more Jews inside the house and most of them had been served alcohol by the husband himself. I mean, did you know there's two here sleeping over or? Yes, there's more than one. Yeah, there's two in that car. Do you have daughters as well? I'm just trying to trying to piece everything together. sleep. I He's trying to call her and she's not Yeah, I just tried to call her. I don't know. I mean, so who is she to you, man? She's my She's my wife. She Okay. So, they said that she may be on the back porch, but she's not back there now. So, is she sleeping somewhere inside the house? No, not that I know of. I I mean, he just woke me up out of bed. Yeah. Yeah. I would The 4 in the morning, man. Yeah. What the [ __ ] Who are these people inside this car right My daughter had a little get together tonight and some friends were staying over like it the blonde one with glasses. Okay. Is that who's in the back of the car? I think so. I can't really see in there to be honest with you, man. Was was it just one of them that got the hand up the shirt or was it I don't know what she said, but the girl on the left, Gracie, she said Sophie said that Gracie got touched worse than Sophie did. I don't She didn't say what that was, but she did say. So, at this point, one of the things that I would like to know, if you catch my drift, yes, what I'm trying to figure out is exactly who got to and exactly to what extent. We need to try to figure out where your wife is cuz that's who we really need to talk to. Um, I wanted to make sure she's okay because you don't even know where she's at. No, I don't. I went to bed over an hour ago. They were on the back porch sitting outside talking and laughing together. Can you tell if he goes in with you? No. No. By all means, come on.

This is not um They said that basically that she was trying to like, you know, take their boot, their bra. They was trying to kill them and she was touching them, you know, there I think through. Okay. you know, do we know do we know exactly where in the house this took place? I can find out. Okay. And then the other thing, do we know are there other girls in the house that belong to other parents? And if so, that's another concern of ours. We need to try to Melissa came to the door, but soon all hell was about to break loose on the officer. All right, ma'am. We can hang out right here just that we're close to the front door. My dog is okay. All right, ma'am. What the [ __ ] All right, ma'am. So, we got a phone call that two girls were appropriately. They were screaming and they ran out into the front yard and hopped into that car over there. Two of your daughter's friends. Can you tell me what happened tonight? No, I am a nurse.

Go on. Who are you right now? What did I do? I didn't do anything. I am a nurse. Did they explain to you what was what's going on so far? Not in any great detail. All right.

As far as what's going to happen, as far as their claims, we have to let our detectives know. She said they got here and they gave um they gave the stepdad $40 and he for alcohol. So he then went to the store the kids did. Yes. Okay. He went to the liquor store and got them alcohol. So apparently they had been drinking. The mom had been drinking. Everybody had been drinking. She said the other girls went to bed and the two of them stayed up cuz they are late night girls. They stayed up and the stepdad and the mom were in the living room. Okay. When the stepdad went to bed, she said that's when the Melissa lady started asking them, "Did you like girls? Have you ever had sex with a girl been with a girl?" Then started kissing Gracie and touching her boo. Guess Gracie was resisting and she was touching here. And I guess once that didn't go well, she moved on to Sophie. Are you hearing what I'm telling you? Cuz you're pissed the [ __ ] right now. And I get it. I get it. Um, but interview both of them and then they will get their interviews. The husband was also at fault, but at least he felt guilty and admitted his mistake. Why would we be getting uh a report from these young girls that when they got here, they gave you $40 to go to the liquor store and get some liquor for them? My middle daughter was having a get together. Uh-huh. And I went to the store. Mhm. And so you did in fact purchase alcohol for them. I'm not going to lie to you. Okay. All right. And it was it wasn't just Are you aware that that's illegal in the state of Georgia? It's called contributing to delinquency of a minor. Yeah. And we were having a little get together. It wasn't just for them. I don't drink. Okay. So, but your wife obviously does. Obviously. Yeah. Okay. Was she aware that they But I mean they were all Were they all drink? Was everybody drinking together like with your wife? at 8:30. Okay. But your wife was present with them while they were all drinking. Yes. Okay. Were you present, ma'am? Oh, no, sir. Okay. Um, who else? Who else was present? Um, they're all in there asleep. Okay. So, there are So, when I asked if there were other girls? No, I did not know that. You didn't know that there were other girls? Okay. We need We had like a little bonfire out back. Everything was Let's do this. We need to get these girls parents in route to come get them. Okay. They don't need to stay here. Um, so we need to we need to get them wd up and we need to get them on the phone calling their parents to come pick them up. Ma'am, it would behoove you to shut your mouth. You understand me? No. You get me out. What? No. This is freaking like get me out. You're not coming out. You You have no reason to have like what? Yeah, I'm sure that's what police officers do in 2022. They just locked people up that don't need to be locked up. Huh? Shut up, you little Maybe could need your own advice. Get me out. Get me out. They're in there. They didn't. No, they didn't. But some things took place at this house tonight, or at least or allegedly took place at this house tonight, and I'm not going to leave a gaggle of teenage girls in this house for the night. Okay. Um, the allegations weren't made against you. However, they were made against your wife. Okay. Inappropriate touch. Like Yeah. So, that's about as far in detail as I'm going to go. Where you went a foul was going to get alcohol for these girls and allowing them to drink in your home. That's where you committed a crime. How many girls are in there? [Music] Units just advising. There's multiple other teenage females here in the residence. We're getting in touch with their parents. I mean, they're they're welcome. Okay. So, your mom's coming to get you already. Y'all need to get in touch with your parents and get them to come pick you up. You don't need to stay here tonight. Okay. You're not going to be able to stay here tonight. Okay. What do we do if we drive? Okay. How much have you had to drink? Be honest with me. I'm not trying to hear you up. Lady, I don't give two crap about what you do for the [ __ ] up. I have done nothing wrong. She's so pleasant. Get this off my hand. Now that ain't how it works. Ain't she never watched a cop movie? She needs to shut up. She does. You're exactly right. She does. But what she's going to have to end up doing is talking to an investigator just like you're going to end up having to talk to an Well, that's if you choose to talk to an investigator. Can I ask you a question, though? Where are you a nurse at? Okay, that's one that I won't will not be going to. Hey, Stammy, if we ever get shot, do not go to medical. I'd be pretty pissed off, too. I am as well. I know. And I'm not saying to be pissed off at me. I enjoyed having their company. I'm not saying it's your fault. I wanted to make sure that they're okay. No, they're fine. But I need you to go ahead and go back inside. I'll come bring this to you and we'll go from there. All right. Although the Jews had been through a lot, the parents didn't want to press charges against the dad. So, that being said, do y'all want to press charges for the contributing to the delinquency of a minor for them providing the alcohol to the kids? I don't I mean I I put them in a worse situation. Our daughters I mean I know No, it's everybody's kind of where they're at. I feel like I don't know. I feel like talking to them this was just a a too much alcohol scenario all the way around quite frankly. Well, any amount of alcohol is too much from the had way too much alcohol and probably is not even aware of what she's necessarily I'm a piece of apparently. So, well, yeah. I mean, I just I think so. I press charges. I I don't I don't think so. I I mean Okay. All right. Um yeah, everybody's okay. That's actually what I'm about to go do is make sure that their parents are be here in just a minute. Real quick, we're sorry. Can you please tell them we're sorry and we didn't mean to. Y'all have nothing to be sorry about. Y'all have nothing to be sorry about. Okay. I'll explain to them that you guys are worried about them and that y'all care about them a lot. We We didn't want to get in trouble. We just didn't know what to do. You did the right thing by letting your parents know. Okay. You have nothing to be sorry about. Okay. Other than don't be drinking no more. Okay. You understand? All right. And I'm sure y'all will get a talking to about that sometime later on.
