Virginia Stone Recants
10/1/'85
Spoke with Audrey Ringer, B.M.H. [Berkshire Mental Health] re Virginia Stone. Audrey stated that it came out in the session that Bernie Baran did not rape Virginia at ECDC last year. Virginia indicated that her mother led her to believe that if she didn't say the right words they wouldn't get a lot of money. (Marsha is in the process of suing ECDC.) Audrey feels that at this time that Virginia could of [sic] been coaxed by her mother to say the necessary things at the trial to indicate the sexual abuse or it may [sic] that it actually did take place and Virginia is confused about it. Audrey will not have an exact answer until she meets with Virginia a few more sessions. John Whalen was informed of this.
