RICK THIS FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF SEXUAL ABUSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THE RELATIVES WE SPOKE WITH TODAY SAY THESE LATEST CLAIMS COME FROM TWO TEENS SEEKING REVENGE. NAT: stack of warrants JACKSON COUNTY DEPUTIES USED THIS THICK STACK OF WARRANTS TO NAB 30-YEAR OLD ADAM DUNLAP ON 117 COUNTS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. 19:27:24 117 counts on a statement THAT STATEMENT SAYS DUNLAP FONDLED AND FORCED HIS YOUNGER TWIN BROTHERS INTO ORAL AND ANAL SEX *SOMETIMES AT THE SAME TIME OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS. BITE:19:36:10 He didn't do this I know in my heart (crying) HIS WIFE AND STEP DAUGHTER SAY IT'S NOT TRUE. BITE:19:27:28 I know for a fact he couldn't hurt a child...any child ACCORDING TO THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT A PORTION OF THE ABUSE HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 2005 WHILE DUNLAP AND HIS WIFE BABYSAT TEN RELATIVES AND LIVED NEXT DOOR TO THE BOYS IN MIDDLE FORK.

DEPUTIES LOOKED OVER THE CASE FOR MORE THAN A MONTH BEFORE CHARGING DUNLAP...MEANING THEY FOUND SOME MERIT IN THE TWINS COMPLAINT. IT'S A TOUGH REALITY FOR THE FAMILY TO ACCEPT. 19:40:17 If I have to die trying the truth will come out.
