INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Investigators have seized more computers and videotapes as they investigate claims from several family members who say they were sexually abused as children by adult relatives.
The items were taken Friday when authorities returned to the home of Burrell Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence. Col. Ben Kenney of the Jackson County Sheriff's Department says there is a belief that "some of these assaults are on those tapes." A warrant says the alleged victims remembered having to pose for pictures in "a sexual and provocative manner."
Court documents say an earlier search of the Independence house
netted magazine incest porn, videotapes and computers. Mohler Sr. faces various charges along with his four sons and his brother. Searchers found 65 videotapes at the home of one of the sons.
