Billy Corben Instagram – Sex abuse survivor speaks out against Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle’s sweetheart plea deal with man who allegedly molested her since she was 9 — that would keep him off the Florida sex offender registry #BecauseMiami
TODAY, Miami-Dade prosecutors from @saomiami will ask a judge to change a plea deal with alleged child molester Albert Bassett, now 90, so he won’t be forced to register as a sex offender. Due to his age, Rundle’s office says, registering could force him to move from his home. Pobrecito!
Keisha Etienne says Bassett was like a father to her, but she was “groomed…molested, sexually abused, exposed to pornography (and) mental turmoil” by him for nearly a decade starting when she was just nine years old — and she wants the judge to reject his new deal.
“I think that frankly second only to the horrific acts of sexual abuse my client endured is the gaslighting and silencing throughout the decades,” Aaron Karger @aaklaw, Etienne’s attorney said.
Claire LeBlanc, Public Information Officer for the Office of State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle says: “As this is an open, active criminal case presently before the court, it would be inappropriate for the SAO to comment.”
