Couple guilty of abusing children get 10 years each

The Mosses accepted a plea bargain on May 9, admitting to about half of the abuse charges. The original indictment in February 2015 also included kidnapping and sexual abuse charges against the couple’s two juvenile daughters, which were dropped as part of the plea deal.

The couple’s attorneys, Miller and Cory Hinton, sought probation for both, citing otherwise clean criminal records and Rejeana Moss’ health issues, which require regular blood checkups.

Rejeana Moss told the court “the past is always more clear than the situation at-hand.”

“I have spent many hours, days and months praying and going over my years as a parent,” she told the court. “I have looked hard at both my successes and failure. I have looked at how my parenting has had to change with different children, the times, outside influences, problems and/or disabilities of the children that have come into our home.

“I have never wanted to hurt any child,” she continued. “I am sorry that these children have been hurt in any way by me. I hope and pray they find peace and full lives as I have tried and failed to do.”

Last year, Ryan Moss — one of the Mosses’ adopted sons who left the home in 2009 — told the Star Beacon he had alerted the county Children Services Board to the conditions in the home four years before authorities removed the three other adopted children from the home. The children weren’t removed until September 2013 — one month after the Mosses’ adopted juvenile daughters escaped the home by stealing and later crashing the family van.

He said he even gave children services his diary, which they kept as possible evidence. But Ryan Moss said he felt his initial abuse claims were brushed off in 2009, and the girls and the developmentally disabled adult male remained in the home for another four years.

It’s unclear how the Mosses were investigated at that time, as complainants are not necessarily kept in the loop once abuse claims are lodged and department cases are not public record, according to CSB officials.

Tania Burnett, CSB executive director, said following the verdict, “I think today justice was served. ... I thank the prosecutor’s office and law enforcement. I think our case workers did an awesome job working with the kids to get to this point, and we’re just happy with the outcome.”

Prosecutors read victim impact statements from Ryan Moss and the two girls, describing the lasting trauma of their ongoing abuse.

Ryan Moss wrote his years with the Mosses left him with anxiety and depression, which affects his ability to find a job. He also touched on the lack of proper schooling, and his stunted social development as a consequence.

“With all the above-named issues and the Mosses putting me down emotionally, I lose faith in myself, confidence — I get overwhelmed,” he wrote.

The Mosses’ older adopted daughter recalled in her statement showing her homework to the Mosses. For every paper that contained a mistake, she received 10 spankings with the aforementioned paddle.

“It was 30 papers,” she wrote. “When they were done, there was blood on the paddle. It was horrible. They gave me 300 spankings. I hated them so much.”

She and her younger sister also recalled physical attacks from Rejeana Moss — but neither knew what they did to incur them, they wrote.

“There are no winners in this case. This was a tragedy for all involved,” Iarocci later said. “The victims will have to endure for the rest of their lives the impact of the seclusion, beatings and overall treatment they and their siblings received at the hands of their adoptive parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Moss will have to live with the consequences of their actions for the next 10 years in prison.

“We would like to thank the Ashtabula County Children Services Board and Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Department for their hard work on this case,” he continued. “More importantly, we wish the victims many blessings as they move forward with their lives.”

The Mosses’ younger daughter expressed her eagerness to do just that. “Thank God it’s over,” she said.

Well they're the ones worshiping a guy who married a nine year old and fucked her when she was eleven.

I can't help but feel very bad for the kids...

I thought I had a rough childhood, before knowing that my parents were good and they used to spoil me a lot despite some of the down sides growing up (stress). Therefore I can only imagine how even rougher these children's lives in their care must have been....
