WE BELIEVE HER
 
This is a lengthy, intricate real-life nightmare I've been watching unfold within my family over the past several years. Please take the time to read this completely. She/We need your help.

In 2016, a minor child living in Oakland County, Michigan made multiple credible disclosures of sexual abuse to numerous mandated reporters and eventually to the Florida Family Court judge. She named her abusers as her father, Sean MacMaster, and his step-father, Larry Orr, a previously convicted sex offender (Public Sex Offender Registration #S20016725).

Florida Sexual Offender Registration: Larry Orr

In March 2019 Michigan District Court Judge Kelley Kostin signed a search warrant for convicted sexual offender Orr's home. Michigan State Police executed the search  warrant (raided the Orr house) with a forensic lab team. A separate search warrant was obtained from Michigan District Court Judge Jamie Wittenberg to collect DNA samples from both men. 

Michigan State Police forensic analysts conducted analysis of evidence obtained from search warrant execution.  Carpet analysis of the DNA confirms stains tested  positive for suspected seminal fluid by both men at multiple locations consistent with the Child’s forensic interview disclosures where she disclosed the abuse to have occurred.

Michigan State Police Report

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel authorized formal criminal charges against Sean MacMaster and Larry Orr for first degree criminal sexual conduct upon a child under thirteen (13) years of age in May of 2019. MacMaster was subsequently extradited from Florida to Michigan. Both the Governor of Michigan and the Governor of Florida had to sign off on his extradition.

Felony Compliant ​

Attorney Generals Supplemental Report

After their arrests, Honorable, Judge Nancy Carniak, presiding judge over the case denied both defendants’ request for bond because of the high likelihood of conviction.

AG Nessel announced that the charges against MacMaster and Orr were being dismissed “without prejudice” (meaning the charges can be re-filed) because of an internal investigation her office conducted regarding prosecutorial misconduct by the assigned Assistant Attorney General Brian Kolodziej in a completely unrelated case.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s public statement:

“In the end, today does not reflect the truthfulness of the victims in these cases but rather the consequence of a prosecutor who failed in his sacred duty to properly administer justice in our legal system.”

On December 4, 2019, the charges were officially dismissed without prejudice and the defendants were released from jail.

The Kent County Prosecutor’s Office in collaboration with Michigan State Police conducted a year long investigation of Kolodziej and cleared him of any criminal misconduct in the MacMaster/Orr Case.  Currently, no renewed criminal charges have been filed against Sean MacMaster or Larry Orr nor has the case been referred to any other prosecutorial agency. 

Kent County Prosecutors Report

After release from jail, Sean MacMaster immediately sought to gain contact with the child. Florida family court Judge James P. Nilon ordered the child to be reunified with MacMaster. Furthermore, contempt was issued against the mother for taking the minor child for an evaluation (without court approval) to address the child’s suicidal ideations brought on by the trauma of reunification among other reasons.

In January 22, 2020, Judge Nilon stated on the record that he could not take the child’s sexual abuse allegations seriously without an explanation from the Michigan Attorney General as to why she dismissed the charges:

“So why did they drop an absolutely provable, ironclad case? The
attorney general is going to have to come down here and answer
that question.....Oh, this is a great case. But we’re going to drop it
because the prosecutor acted improperly because they had a
relationship [with] a victim in another case that’s not even
anywhere related. They’re going to have to explain. There may be
a reason . . . but they have to explain it to me. And if they’re an
elected official, they should have to explain it to their voters that they would drop an ironclad case on a person charged with, you
know, serious child sexual allegations, and why they would do
that?”

The child’s friends and family have made numerous written and verbal requests to the Michigan Attorney General to take action to protect this child. The Michigan Attorney General’s Office refuses to respond.

Sean MacMaster filed a motion for sole custody of the child victim, threatening to take the child from her mother and family, relocating her from Michigan to Florida.

This child needs your help and support.
The actual facts of this case need to be told. The media has only reported on the alleged abusers’ distorted portrayal of the case’s history. Their current narrative is that the alleged abusers were falsely accused because of a nasty divorce/child custody issue.  They claim to be exonerated of the alleged crimes. There is no evidence to support that narrative. 

The mother and Sean MacMaster had a collaborative and uncontested divorced in 2012. They even used the same lawyer. There were no post-divorce legal disputes until after the child’s credible disclosures of abuse – which happened 4 years after the divorce.
At the time of the divorce in 2012, the parents agreed that the Mother should have 100% sole parental rights and 100% sole legal decision making for the child.

Sean MacMaster was granted restricted visitation time because of his self-admitted struggle with sexual impulses and suspected sexual addiction.

Evidence of Sexualized Behaviors

Sean MacMaster is currently the acting police chief for the Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Florida. Without action from the Michigan Attorney General, the Florida family court will not take the sexual abuse allegations seriously.
