The daughter of a New Jersey police chief has filed a lawsuit accusing her father of ritualistic abuse spanning over a decade.
She alleges that he and a neighbor raped her and other children in horrific ceremonies in the woods near their home.
She said the men were part of a ‘ritualistic’ ring of satanists who also burned kids alive.
Courtney Tamagny who is now 20, filed a lawsuit against her father, Leonia Police Chief Scott Tamagny, and her neighbor, Keith Slevin, accusing them and other grown men of committing the horrific crimes.
The Mail Online reports: Both men have denied the claims and said the allegations have been investigated and proven unfounded by several authorities. Slevin has also countersued Courtney for defamation.
In Courtney’s suit, she claimed the abuse by her father began when she was just four years old at their home in northern New Jersey and also extended to an older and younger sister. She alleged that the assaults continued until she was 15.
The lawsuit accused Chief Tamagny of threatening to beat the girls if they told anyone about the abuse, and also claims he threatened to kill the girls’ mother, Jeanne Tamagny, if Courtney spoke out.
The mother joined the lawsuit as a plaintiff and is in the process of divorcing Chief Tamagny.
Some of the lawsuit’s most chilling allegations describe how the police chief and Slevin took the sisters into the woods in Rockland County, New York, where ‘there was what appeared to be other middle-aged men present with masks on their faces.’
Courtney ‘recalls there being fire and animals being burned, and they would chant as if ritualistic’ while sexually abusing her and her younger sister, according to the lawsuit.
Courtney explained in her complaint that she suppressed memories of the abuse for years as a survival tactic, only recalling them after a doctor’s visit for vaginal pain prompted a question about sexual abuse, triggering terrifying flashbacks.
Her therapist reported the abuse to authorities in 2022, the suit says.
In April, Courtney appeared on the ‘We’re All Insane’ podcast to expand on the claims, saying that generations of her father’s ‘bloodline’ were members of a ‘satanic cult’ that included other neighbors in their town.
She claimed the cult raped her and her siblings, trafficked children, and even ‘burned them alive in their local woods.’
She also described on the podcast ‘tunnels’ used by the alleged cultists for ‘taking kids’ blood,’ ‘drum circles,’ and all-night ‘burnings’ of animals, animal skins, and even humans, suggesting the violence was meant to terrify victims into silence.
She further claimed the cult was part of a ‘national cabal of satanists engaged in child trafficking’ and described ‘sick games’ they played like ‘Hunter and Gatherers,’ where children were chased, incapacitated, and assaulted.
Courtney did not respond to a request for comment. Her mother, Jeanne, could not be reached. The Daily Mail has also contacted Courtney’s lawyers and is awaiting a response.
In her lawsuit, Courtney accused the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and the state Department of Children and Families of failing to protect her and her siblings, alleging their investigations of the claims were inadequate and that the agencies had a custom of suppressing child welfare reports and ignoring evidence of abuse.
