A New Hampshire lawyer who works with a virulently anti-gay Christian-right organization has been found guilty of child pornography charges after videotaping her own daughter having sex with two men on multiple occasions.
Lisa Biron, 43, of Manchester faces a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison after a jury convicted her yesterday. The jury deliberated for less than an hour.
Biron, arrested by the FBI last November, was accused of eight felony counts involving the videotaping of men having sex with a 14-year-old girl who was identified by the Associated Press as her daughter. She also allegedly made a cellphone video of herself having sex with her daughter.
Biron, who claimed on her Facebook page (which was taken down, according to the Concord Monitor) that the Bible was her favorite book, had worked with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), formerly the Alliance Defense Fund, in defending a Pentecostal church in Concord in a tax fight against the city.
The Arizona-based ADF calls itself a “servant ministry” that seeks to transform the legal system and advocate “for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.” The group issues dire warnings about “the homosexual agenda” and offers a book (available for a donation of $35) by its president, Alan Sears, and senior director Craig Osten, with that title. In the book, the authors claim that “the homosexual agenda” will destroy religious liberty and free speech. In one chapter, they claim that homosexuality on college campuses leads to pedophilia, and that homosexuality and pedophilia “are intrinsically linked,” a falsehood long perpetuated by the anti-gay right to demonize LGBT people.
ADF, the Alliance Defending Freedom, has stated emphatically that this Lisa Biron is NOT an employee of theirs and have worked diligently to scrub any mention of her off of their website.
However the great folks over at Americablog did some searching and discovered that ADF had at least once identified Ms. Biron as a member of their "Honor Corps:"
ADF Allied Attorney Success Stories: March 2011 By ADF Alliance Alert
Congratulations to allied attorneys Geoffrey Westmoreland, Kevin Snider, Mike Tierney, Rick Macias, Steve Sanders, Stephen Casey, Greg Terra, Steve Whiting, Steve Amjad, Steve Fitschen, Tim Swickard, as well as new Honor Corps members, Albertos Polizogopoulos and Lisa Biron, for their recent accomplishments and successes listed below. Please take time to congratulate them!
Well gee she may not be an employee but they still felt that her contribution to their organization warranted a special title and honor.
And just what IS an "Honor Corp member?"
Alliance Defending Freedom has created the Honor Corps to recognize those allied attorneys who have completed 450 hours of pro bono service, and offers special awards in recognition of significant milestones in reported service.
So technically at least, this woman was NOT employed with a virulently anti-gay organization while she was filming men illegally having sex with her underage daughter and sexually molesting her as well, She was only volunteering her time as an attorney on their behalf, while she was filming men illegally having sex with her underage daughter and sexually molesting her as well, because she was such a supporter of their cause.
So much better.
You know this certainly does not mean that EVERY raging homophobic hyper Christian out there is a terrible person who would rape their own children, but from my experience the louder that somebody condemns another person's sexuality or lifestyle, the more likely it is that they are desperate to hide deviant behaviors of their own.
If this woman were the only example of this kind of chronic hypocrisy it would be one thing, but sadly she most certainly is not.
Actually, I *do* think that every raging homophobe out there is a terrible person.
ReplyDelete+ one bazillion ¨likes.¨
DeleteNot what you want to hear, Jesse,
ReplyDeleteBut I'm going to pray for that little girl...
So horrendous it is unbelievable.
Your own mother.
ANYBODY ELSE THINK SARAH PALIN WOULDN'T HURT HER OWN KIDS FOR HER OWN BENEFIT -- BECAUSE SHE IS A "MOM"???
ANYONE??
You betcha!
DeleteOur Father in Heaven, Jesus H(eath) Christ, wants that child to suffer.
No, I don't. I think your hate for Palin is going too far with that. She may not be a good loving mother but hurting her children is over the top even for this blog. Disgusting suggestion really. Let's maintain our own credibility here at least.
Delete6:41am:
DeletePray all you want, but you didn't need to tell us about it. You just proved a point regarding the problem many Atheists and Agnostics have with religious folks; they just won't keep it private! You don't need to let us know you are praying, your religion is private, keep it that way.
The responders here are jerks.
DeleteHypocrites! It’s why I avoid people who wear their religion on their sleeves. I’ve had relatives who carried a bible or a bottle, depending on where they were in their bender. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteThere are exceptions, of course, some Seventh Day Adventists in the area seem genuine and are very nice. They won’t eat meat and party with the rest of us, but, oh well.
Pro Bono or not she worked for them....which suggests that they do not vet their volunteers,
ReplyDeletebut the real outrage here is this creature that gave birth to that poor little girl.
Yep. It's no surprise to me that in the minds of some arrogant bible-thumping religious warriors it appears no behavior - not even maternal rape or sexual exploitation of an underage daughter - is too cruel, base or degrading to engage in.
ReplyDeleteHow does that child recover from this unspeakable betrayal?
She doesn't.
DeleteThe first thing that came to mind after reading this post were Michele and Marcus Bachmann. Chilling.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting thing to hear someone stay! Why would you say that?Do you suspect them of that sort of behaviour or are you trying to ferret out the gay in Marcus? Does it matter if Marcus is gay? Are you homophobic in that you need to know?
DeleteThat could well be a reference to hypocrisy - being gay yet engaging in harmful "gay repairative therapy for a profit" or foster kids and selling that therapy.
DeleteI agree with 10:00am, what is so "chilling" about Marcus Bachmann being gay? He obviously is, but has chosen to "fix" himself and live as a hetero. Why should you care? You create enough fake "drama" at your own blog, don't start it here.
DeleteThere had to be a reason all their foster kids al were female. As for Marcus not living a gay life...LMAO!
DeleteEveryone in Minnesota knows Marcus spends time cruising Loring Park meeting up with male prostitutes.
Sorry but Loring Park in Minneapolis went out with the bathhouses.
DeleteLOL! Loring Park is STILL a center of male prostitution.
DeleteWow. I have no words, just a terribly sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
ReplyDeleteSomething is WRONG with our society, when we have those abominations that have the title 'human' in front of them. What can we, as a society, do, to prevent those perverts from doing even more harm? Look at that TV guy in England, who molested over FIVE HUNDRED boys and girls - and all of England at least SUSPECTED him, but 'was not able to prove anything'. WTF??? Same with that Kinsky, who molested/raped his own daughter from the time she was FIVE YEARS OLD.
ReplyDeleteI am disgusted and discouraged being part of the human family.
The only answer is : listen to children. Then speak up for them.
DeleteYou're disgusted, but that woman was caught and her victim will be hopefully a bit safer from now on. She's the tip of the iceberg. Many more victims are not saved, their torturers are not punished. Especially out of the First World, but also in it.
How horribly sad for the daughter. Only 14 and prostituted by her own incestuous mother. My god. What a disgusting waste of skin that mother is. I sincerely hope her life in prison is as miserable and soul-sucking as possible.
ReplyDeleteSome in Wasilla say Sarah Palin told Bristol to get pregnant when Mommy Dearests name was being floated for VP in 2007. That too is prostitution.
DeleteI would really like to know what she thinks of it when she is "given" to the other prisoners - especially with her background of staunch anti gay activities!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like a mathematical equation-- the bigger the FRONT the bigger the BACK!!
ReplyDeleteJesse, this may be an unfair question to ask but would it be just as bad if a father watched his daughter getting it on with another girl?
ReplyDeleteI mean, is the biggest problem that the girl is underage or is it that the mother watched? Why the 25 year sentence?
9:45, are you shitting me? Are you serious? Really?
DeleteThe worst part was that the mother had sex WITH her own underaged daughter.
DeleteIf you think it is in anyway okay for a parent to sexually abuse their child and to pimp them out then I sincerely hope that you have no access to any child.
Delete9:45 AM You must be an INBRED IMBECILE.
DeleteI was so pissed off reading your comment I had to settle down to understand your thought process. To selectively comment on a situation that may apper is more reasonable is disgusting. This bitch had sex with her daughter and whored her out to give her some thrill. This is not a negotiation on what's may be reasonable. There is no argument. It's black and white.
DeleteIf it appears that homosexuality and pedophilia are linked then it's because catholic priests created that perception. When a priest chooses celibacy there is a perception created that he is not sexually straight and is probably gay. The link with pedophilia is not something we need to even guess at anymore, even though not all of them are guilty.
ReplyDeleteYou keep inviting the discussion so are you ready for the discussion?
I know many straight priests and most of them I know have had or are having affairs(including a 4th cousin that is in Vatican City)
DeleteIf you think that pedo's are pedo's, and your sick twisted way of trying to call homosexuals pedo's has failed (btw I bet you call yourself a Christian, well Jesus was gay)
There is no link between homosexuality and pedophilia. This has been proven over and over and over.
DeletePedophilia is a crime of opportunity. They don't choose based on what they want, they take the victim they can get.
Seriously. Look the actual facts up, since you seem to want to have this debate. And Fuck you with a rusty spork for implying that I and people like me want little kids. Typical Fucking christianist.
This makes me want to reintroduce the quaint old custom of stocks in the village square. Make her travel to every place a child is molested, and freely supply the rotten projectiles in great abundance.
ReplyDeleteThat's just gross!! And isn'g having sex with her daughter a homosexual act?? In the sense that it is same sex partners? Really these uber-reich religious creeps need to shut up!!!
ReplyDeleteisn'g having sex with her daughter a homosexual act??
Delete!~~~~~!!
So True!
The more gay men,the fewer the customers.Makes sense to me........
ReplyDeleteThat's fucked up.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of what that girl experienced, alone, makes my skin crawl.
ReplyDeleteShe faces a mandatory sentence of at least 25 years, I feel she should get life because she took her daughter's life and made a living hell out of it.
And don't get me started with the radical right wing Bible Thumping Zealots! I agree, the louder they scream against something, the more likely they're involved in it themselves.
Demonizing Homosexuals by labeling them as Pedophiles is their favorite tactic! It's the "christian" thing to do because God made homosexuals in his own image, right?
There is a reason there are prisons. This is the purest definition of one. There're is a soulless predator that has been caught. This predator needs to be caged with a scarlet letter and processed by the type of people she spent her life alienating. This is a rare time when the system will work, I hope.
DeleteI usually encourage discussion and negotiation but the only underlying negotiation is if she did it. If proven she did then let her enjoy 25 years of true love.
Just when I thought that there was nothing more disgusting than the Steubenville Rape Crew, I read about THIS piece of garbage.
ReplyDeleteNotice that her story of how she pulled herself up from alcoholism was that she was "saved" by Christianity? I mean, HELLO, I'd rather see someone be a loser alcoholic.
She's getting 25 years? That's all? I can't imagine anything that would make that little girl's life normal. She took something precious and destroyed it. I'm sorry to have so little faith in the child, but REALLY! A 14 year old who has been led to believe that it's ok to get high and have sex with your mom on video with people watching? It makes me want to barf!
You HAVE TO KNOW that this bitch will be let go early for good behavior. She'll probably run the prison ministry. She'll have found God "for real" this time, and she'll get a pass.
All I can say is that I hope she rots. Literally gets a fungus and rots bit by bit until there's nothing left of her but painful festering sores.
(Greetings, TIM. Saw this think piece on the net. Reaction, anyone?)
ReplyDeletewhen DIVERSITY becomes PERVERSITY
The typical UNIVERSITY now prides itself on DIVERSITY. But watch out when DIVERSITY becomes PERVERSITY. That's when God will put His CURSE-ITY on the whole world (see Malachi 4:6 - NIV)!
For dessert Google "Separation of Raunch and State," "God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up" and "Dangerous Radicals of the Religious Right."
