CONTRAST IN PRISON TERMS IN TWO RAPE/INCEST CASES

Father jailed for more than 1,500 years for raping teenage daughter

Sentence believed to be the longest in Fresno history

As reported on October 23, 2016 in the Fresno Bee, the father in this case in Fresno, California was sentenced to 1,503 years in prison for raping his teenage daughter over a four-year period. 

The 41-year-old was sentenced on Friday to the longest-known prison sentence in Fresno Superior Court history, the Fresno Bee reported. In trial, the father blamed the daughter for his actions. As is typical, the daughter was too afraid to report it when she was younger, and finally broke loose from his clutches. 

WHY COURTS NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE HORROR OF INCEST/RAPE CASES - Sentences like the following should never happen.

The sentencing is in stark contrast to a recent case in Montana, where a man who raped his 12-year-old daughter was not sent to prison.

Instead the judge handed down a 30-year suspended sentence after the man pleaded guilty to incest and ordered him to spend 60 days in jail, giving him credit for 17 days already served.

THE CRYING NEED FOR CHILD ABUSE AND INCEST AWARENESS

WHY CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS IS SO IMPORTANT

The statistics tell the heartbreaking tale.

16 year old Cheryl Pierson Cuccio was one of these victims - The incest and abuse ended with her father's murder. She endured it for several years, but hired a classmate to kill her father when he said her 8 year old sister was next. That is why she and her husband Rob wrote this book. Awareness is so important, but remember, never ask the child in front of the suspected abuser because it could put them in further danger. It took 30 years for Cheryl and her husband Rob to reveal the true horrible details of her life in order to help others.

Best Present Under the Tree

CHERYL CUCCIO POSTED ON FACEBOOK:

 Santa came early for me this year.Been waiting for this special present for over 30 years and now my dream of my true story finally will come out. So excited and yet surreal to finally have it in my hands. Wow mixed emotions.... The release date we are hoping for is now December 17th .  
❤❤


You can Pre-Order the Kindle or eBook edition now and get it as soon as it comes out. Watch for the release of the paperback. 

GOOD NEWS

INCEST, MURDER AND A MIRACLE was published on December 17. The Kindle/Paperback and Ebook formats are now available for order. 

This is an exciting and gratifying time for all of us. The Cuccios will finally be able to realize their dream of getting their story out to help abuse victims as well as making others aware of the importance of (1) reporting suspected abuse and (2) getting second opinions for medical evaluations if there is any doubt of the diagnosis, or if the person wants confirmation of a diagnosis. It can save lives. Cheryl knows--she is a survivor, and Rob knows--he almost wasn't here to tell the story.

It is a time when a new strength has grown in Cheryl. It took tremendous will power and many tears during the writing of the book to read over and over in detail the hell she endured most of her childhood and the determination that grew never to be a victim again. And, for Rob, he had to relive what could have been the end of his days. 

You will be fascinated, inspired and awed at what you find between the pages of this amazing true story.  Follow this blog and more as more posts are made. MORGAN ST. JAMES

REALITY CHECK

What a reality check!!!!! If trying to live with all the daily PTSD wasn't hard enough but writing this book for the last couple of years, putting my emotions down on paper, confronting the truth yet again bringing all these feelings back up to the surface.  Seeing your old newspaper articles up on your face book so people could view them and comment on your life. If some of your friends didn't know your past they know it now with all the questions to follow. Now the strange things that begin to happen all over again bringing me right back to thirty years ago when people knew about my life and bad things would happen to my personal stuff. I just keep telling myself, if it helps just one person bringing all this pain up again to let them know they are not alone and they could get through their own torture all of this will be worth it.

Frankly, folks, the Cuccio's life has been like a fictional story, but it is all true. Lots of documentation, etc. to back everything up. Cheryl was silent about the reality of her life for thirty years and has come forward now to help others. To let them know there are other ways to get help, but to get help you have to find the courage to speak out. 

As for Rob, his mission in this book is to encourage people who receive a questionable diagnosis of what they feel is serious to get second opinions. It is a relief when you are told nothing is wrong, but look what happened to Rob. He died for 43 minutes!

HOW I BECAME INVOLVED IN WRITING THIS BOOK

When I was contacted by Cheryl (Pierson) Cuccio and Rob Cuccio to help them write their book, I had no idea of what an amazing story this would be. Interested parties: the book is currently represented by literary agent Paul S. Levine--see Contacts page.

Over the past few years I have become an advocate for abuse victims, having helped to write books like La Bella Mafia for abuse survivors. But this was more. It is the stuff that movies and fictions are made of.

Picture this: A sexually, physically and mentally abused teenager whose mother died when she was 11, hires a classmate to kill her father who is now threatening to also go after her 8 year old sister. Teenagers don't think like adults or realize the consequences sometimes. What they know comes from TV, movies and books. She paid a heavy price. Not just with time in jail, but in her entire emotional well-being. But her sister was protected.

Cheryl and her high-school boyfriend Rob got married after she was released from jail, had two beautiful daughters and tried to live as normal a life as possible. It was not without obstacles.

Then the biggest obstacle of all. Due to malpractice, proven but with a "not liable" decision for the doctor by a six person jury, Rob found out what it means to be dead for 43 minutes, then miraculously brought back to life without brain damage. A true miracle. That happened in 2012. After extensive physical therapy and experiencing severe mental stress, he was able to resume his career as an oncology nurse and was named "Nurse of the Year-New York 2015" three years after he died.

Sounds like fiction, right? Well, it's all real and for the first time in 30 years Cheryl and Rob are telling their true story--not the fabrications and suppositions that filled newspapers, magazines and TV for over 3 years. We hope the book will be published soon. Cheryl will appear on an episode on the Discovery ID TV channel in 2017. Cheryl and Rob are available for radio, TV and print/online interviews.

This blog went public at 1:30 am on June 21, 2016. By 9:00 am there were over 1,000 views. The stories of Cheryl and Rob are so important and can impact so many lives in a positive way. If you are reading this page, please use the comment section to say whether you want to buy the book when it is published. This will be a great help to our agent.

Here is what Cheryl replied to a Facebook comment:

" It was a hard decision to make to do this but if it can help others Rob and I are ready. It’s been a long time coming. Our girls are grown and we have been through a lot together and it is time.

Please share this site so many more can click on it and gain courage from what we have survived.

We’ll be adding more to the blog and making a website and listing the shows we will be on in the future. Hopefully the book will be published soon."

Cheryl and Rob

 Cheryl Pierson Cuccio and Rob Cuccio's relationship began with a life that sounds like fiction and included a murder. Through every nightmare they experienced, true love never faltered.

The manuscript for the book is currently in the hands of our agent, Paul S. Levine.  We will post photos, media clips, commentary, and more on this new site. Upcoming appearances and events will also be posted.

THE INCEST
Cheryl lived in a Hell on earth for many years of her childhood, the victim of her sexually, physically and mentally abusive father. 

THE MURDER
After 30 years of silence, she has finally come forward to tell the truth behind the sensational headlines and radio or TV shows about this murder-for-hire case.

Cheryl has been committed to helping abuse victims for many years now and hopes by writing this book along with Rob, that  situations of victims who read the book don't turn into the desperate horror her's did. 

THE MIRACLE
Rob experienced something that few people have. It has been called a miracle and was that he is here to help tell the story is a direct result of Cheryl's love and dedication to her husband--the person who protected her from the time she was an abused teen.

My name is Morgan St. James, and I am the co-author of their just completed book "Incest, Murder and a Miracle." 

Cheryl and Rob Cuccio are available for talks and interviews. If you would like more information, please go to the contact page.
