Given that there isn’t interspecies breeding (at least, I’m pretty sure Campion’s said that before), at best Jestan is Beth-Anne’s step brother. They would have to share one parent to be half-siblings.
As Pufnstuff has stated, the plot thickens. I am pretty sure that Kaleb’s therapy appointment is either going to get rescheduled, delayed or cancelled because of Beth-Anne’s testimony.

The more things that get uncovered, the more it makes it look like Colin and his family have unknowingly moved into a retched hive of nothing but scum and villainy. Who knows how far the corruption and cub abuse actually stretches, or how many players are involved.
Police have a way of protecting their kind and covering things up. Not until a court order to release the video footage of this incident did this get revealed to the public. As might be expected, it ended Mayor Emanuel’s career in Chicago and then-President Obam was deafeningly silent about the whole thing.
Well yes, but as the old saw goes, “Who watches the watchmen?” That’s when you need outside help. In fact the whole theme of this webcomic is, “What happens when children are badly abused by parents?”

Oh shit.
I never stopped to think that Beth-Anne and Jestan might be related. I just assumed they were fellow bullies in the same posse. This adds a whole new disturbing light to everything.
Ignore a serious problem and plenty more crop up. Bill Cosby started his rapes fifty years ago. It wasn’t until BLACK comedian Hannibal Burress revealed the truth about Cosby to the world that it all came out. And his motive was to mock Cosby’s moralizing to the black community, such as his “pound cake” speech.
Beth-Anne….is Jestan’s sister….that I was not expecting, but this adds a new layer to everything. Jestan’s dad will most likely try to keep her from testifying against him. The fact that Jestan was found beaten, bloody and half-naked in the rain could also be spun to make him look like the victim rather than the predator.
I mentioned once before that I also come from the Appalachians, and that a similar incident occurred (slightly older kids involved, all middle-to-high school age.
I also know parents. If a little girl is beaten and raped by a gang of older kids and nothing was being done to punish the culprits, People would be getting ready to *hang* motherfuckers.
That very nearly happened to a local sheriff in my area back in the late 80s.
I hope so, but things like that can be spun. Jestan could try to claim it was all consensual; though admittedly that would be a hard sell considering Tanya’s age, the fact that she was injured and Benni and Kaleb’s testimony.
Given the medical reports from the hospital which will definitely be introduced into evidence and the fact the ER had to remove the duct tape restraints from her… I’m guessing there’s not much Spin that will be effective at all.
You can’t tie someone up, beat them bloody, stab them in the foot, and rape them and convincingly argue that it’s *consensual*. Aside from the fact that a nine year old by legal definition *cannot* give consent.

The Plot thickens.
I have been wondering for years now exactly what Jestan would own up to… seems like we’ll soon have an answer to that, at least.
I expect we’ll soon have the police bringing everybody involved in for statements.
Finding a boy nekid and beaten bloody in the rain would need some answering. I bet the r*pe kit would be used as evidence.
Also I forgot who all the kids were and named…
Tanya
Kaleb
Beth-Anne
Jestan
Laroy
Benni
Hunter
Talitha
Thank you.
No problem
I would have said ‘The plot sickens’.
I remember Jestan telling how he did it with his sister… now we know who he did it to
Raccoon Toons – Light My Fire Definitely not like Talitha.
Actually we Don’t know that for sure… Just that Jestan compared Tanya’s breasts to his sister’s… and he might or might not have only one.
I’m a little confused what’s being said in the last panel
Beth-Anne revealed that Jestan is her half brother and that her father (stepfather?) will listen to Jestan and not her.

This comic is a Xmas tree of disturbing lights!

Don’t forget tho that there is the evidence from the Rape Kit. That’s going to be difficult to mitigate when it gets to court.
If it gets that far.

It looks like there are some missing words in the last panel. Is that on purpose?
