The mother of
convicted child sex predator James Edward Turner testified this morning that her son is a good father even though he raped an 11-year-old relative.
Mary Ellis acknowledged that her son had sex with the victim who gave birth to his daughter. But she denied that Turner committed sexual crimes against any other children, despite the testimony this week of three other girls who said Turner abused them.
“He’s a good man, he’s a good son, he’s a good father, he’s a good person,” Ellis said. “Ain’t no way in the world he did this stuff in the paper.”
