'In the Valley of Sin': Pastor speaks out, arrested, beaten!

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

"In the Valley Of Sin" is a six-hour docuseries that examines the mid-90's witch-hunt that pitted neighbor against neighbor in Wenatchee, Washington, when police uncovered a monstrous child sex ring known among its membership as 'The Circle.'

Local authorities alleged that dozens of children were raped in the bedrooms of their parents, in the homes of their neighbors, and at ritualized orgies on the altar of a church. But there was one problem: there was no sex ring, a truth that only emerged after 43 parents were arrested and dozens of children were made wards of the state.

Today, Nancy Grace speaks with Pastor Roby Roberson, his wife Connie, and daughter Rebekah Osborn. As Pastor Roby speaks out about the injustice of the arrests, he and Connie arrested themselves and charged with child abuse.
