(Editor’s Comment: The mother of the Alleged Victim, (see her testimony above) following an intervention by Tony’s agents recanted her testimony. However when her daughter was ask to recant(the same day as her mother) she did not change what she said had happened to her and who did it to her. Her testimony follows immediately below. She has apparent learning disabilities and the questions and answers reflect that)
