Victim Takes the Stand

Victim Takes the Stand

By WBNG News

A girl from Norwich testifies about sexual abuse at a federal trial in Binghamton.

49 year old Dean Sacco of New Jersey and 46 year old Linda O'Connor of Norwich are charged with sex trafficking and child pornography.

The girl claims the two forced her to have sex with Sacco to make up back rent payments.

The girl told the jury Sacco raped her several times in his apartment.

She claims sometimes O'Connor was there, and sometimes they would take pictures.

The girl also talked about another alleged abuser, George Lang, who is now deceased.

She told the court she does not remember all the details she told police and had tried to protect O'Connor and Lang.

At one point she broke down and said quote "I'm trying to cram three years of my life into a couple of hours. My memory isn't that good ok?" end quote.

She does claim that O'Connor took her to the Best Western Hotel in Johnson City to meet with two different men for sex.

The girl will continue testifying tomorrow.
