The town of Mantua is rocked by disturbing allegations against Michael Brown, 46, and his wife Valerie Brown, 44. Michael is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, reportedly more than ten times over the span of three years. The victim allegedly became entangled in this harrowing ordeal through her friendship with the Browns' daughter, who shared a cheerleading squad with her.

Investigation Uncovers More Horrors

Following a search of the couple's cell phones, police elevated the charges against Michael Brown to first-degree aggravated sexual assault. Valerie Brown, who serves as a cheerleading coach, faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and hindering apprehension. Authorities allege that Valerie was aware of her husband's actions yet failed to intervene.

“This case highlights the importance of vigilance and reporting suspicious behavior to protect our community’s youth,” a local police spokesperson commented.

The assaults reportedly began during sleepovers at the Browns' home. Police describe an initial incident where Michael Brown allegedly placed his mouth on the victim's chest. The abuse is said to have continued at various hotels across Mantua, West Deptford, and Woodbury.

Valerie allegedly dismissed inappropriate text exchanges between Michael and the victim as "just a joke," urging the teen to delete them. As the investigation continues, police urge anyone with related information to contact the Mantua Police Department at 856-589-0911.
