Family testifies against uncle accused of impregnating, murdering niece

Family affectionately remembered Iyana Sawyer, who disappeared in 2018. Iyana's grandmother testified that she had seen him hugging her inappropriately.

He groomed her. Be careful with your children around adults, all adults. And have conversations with your children about appropriate behaviors between adults and children. This was heartbreaking , disturbing and very predatory.

you telling everyone this now ? u could of kept that cause u let her DOWN !

[@dkblue317]

So what did grandma do after? You get this information and what? Turn a blind eye?

[@joycecarr1661]

😮

[@caterinascarcella]

Yup they left her and sister alone with him!!

[@justbreathebydenise6755]

Exactly! The whole family turned a blind eye, especially his wife. These girls were not protected!!!

[@byBeauxARTFULIVING]

TRUST your intuition . The Aunties KNEW but the little girl would not admit it, so you keep ALL children far away from him.

[@eboyd2478]

Then what!!!!! COME ON LADY

[@samira9828]

Caught them in action and did nothing!🤦🏿‍♀️ some B families really need help .

[@joycecarr1661]

That puzzled me

[@seekingknowledge4698]

It couldn't have been by grandma that saw him. That man would have been dead 💀. My grandma was the real Madea!!!

[@nataliemartin1232]

Grama, shouldn't you have addressed that animal when you saw him hugging that little girl? She needed guidance, protection, and support. If she had that, she would have been able to feel empowered enough to address or voice her displeasure or concerns.

[@AspensJourney]

I agree but she didn’t have any displeasures unfortunately 😢 He groomed her from a young age she thought they were in a relationship she was happy to be with him and have his baby. But grandma still should of confronted him if she felt uneasy

[@kenyak2959]

What makes me so mad is his cocky attitude walking in the court smiling. So disgusting!

[@teresaholmes4393]

Grand Ma caught him in action

[@jessicaparker1688]

Wow, she caught them

[@goldenb1592]

Yeah that would have been the moment I scream, curse, shout WTF is going on here.

[@kathienewkirk3243]

But nobody did anything. Save it lady!

[@healingwithin4154]

This is ridiculous like wtf is going on!! Your own uncle!! Wtf men really need to Jesus cause if you that turned on and tempted by a child and your own blood that’s demonic as hell and you don’t have any self control which makes you dangerous as hell!! Can’t put nothing pass nobody who that weak

[@joycecarr1661]

Uncle in Law, but still no less heinous

[@marriejames01]

Disgusting. Even more disgusting how many family members knew what was going on. Hopefully they’re overwhelmed with guilt.

[@Msbyrd7]

It's still demonic uncle or not 16 years old? It's sick but there's so men doing this with young girls It's so sad

[@LA_337]

Do accurate reporting!!! Only her GRANDMA called IS her little attorney.

[@cookiesncream_24]

why he walk like he got a stick up his behind🥴

[@shaytaban5003]

He broke his femur. The wife said he had a limp after his recovery.

[@joycecarr1661]

Practicing for jail😂

[@naomithomassmith4354]

Shackles on his feet.

[@BROOK69BANKS]

I hope he do

[@bar_king_peezy9133]

It was a family full of women and he was the only male and he wasn't even blood related. If they had one husband or or cousin that was a male then he would have not been do grotesque with the little girl

[@joycecarr1661]

They thought he was something special light skinned long wavy hair muscular.... A token in a dark skinned family. Our brains are so warped in America.

[@xXurbansweetnessXx]

.not true though the other sister is married. she mentioned her husband

[@mgbl2808]

Both grandmothers were married as well as another Aunt. The girls father lived nearby. They all got too comfortable with Quiles. Did he think the 16 yr old could disappear and no one would look for her? He’s dumber than a rock.

[@Hellbound2323]

This is simply black culture .uncles molesting their niece and the mom / grandmother turning blind eye anyone that is black and say it’s not true you a lie , most of our moms have stories of them being molested by uncle , trust no one . Especially not with you precious children smh I’m willing to bet the young girl didn’t have a father in her life and this is why the uncle felt brave enough to do what he wanted , we gotta make changes black people this shit is sick

[@berdellfleming5074]

I am black and that is not the culture that I know
😮

[@Hellbound2323]

@@berdellfleming5074 ask your mom

[@groovederrikc1216]

You must be white

[@ryoungblood6308]

This isn’t a culture it’s a curse, a generational one at that and it’s prominent in all races.

[@berdellfleming5074]

To make a blanket statement about a group is deplorable!
