It is not what I expected in this case. Robbin Lamonica, who faced aggravated rape and aggravated oral sexual battery charges, will not face justice. In exchange for a guilty plea on a vague obstruction of justice charge, she will escape a prison sentence. This is not justice, it is simple legal expediency. They need her testimony to convict others of worse crimes.
Prosecution and defense attorneys also said Lamonica has agreed to testify at future trials in the Hosanna case, which has raised lurid child sex charges amid allegations of satanic rituals at the church.
Seven members of Hosanna Church have been indicted or convicted in connection with the alleged child sex ring.
Juries have convicted former Hosanna pastor Louis D. Lamonica, Robbin Lamonica’s estranged husband, and Austin “Trey” Bernard III on allegations of child rape. Lamonica is serving four concurrent life sentences and Bernard three consecutive life sentences.
At least somebody is going to prison.
