‘Making A Murderer’ Subject Steven Avery Molested Brendan Dassey? New Angle Revealed Regarding Netflix Show
Reports have surfaced that Steven Avery, who is the subject of the hit Netflix series "Making a Murderer," may have allegedly molested Brendan Dassey.
The Business Insider report comes weeks after the show opened up the murder case of Teresa Halbach.
Dassey, meanwhile, said the local police were aware of who actually killed Halbach but did not investigate despite evidence that could exonerate him once more.
The Business Insider report quoted a statement from reporter Dan O'Donnell, who said that investigators, as well as the production team behind Netflix's "Making a Murder" completely ignored Dassey's confession regarding Steven Avery.
"He clearly is saying that Steven molested him," O'Donnell was quoted as saying. "Really, I don't have any reason to believe that Dassey would have been lying."
O'Donnell maintained a podcast about the Netflix series as well as the case.
The reporter said that he was "troubled" that no one was considering this angle of the alleged molesting of Dassey by his uncle.
"According to court records obtained by The Wrap, on May 13, 2006, Dassey, 16 at the time, told police during one of his highly contested interviews, which some believe resulted in a false confession, that his uncle sometimes tried to grab his genitals 'through the pants.'"
Netflix showrunners for "Making a Murderer" refused to comment on the matter relating to Steven Avery.
Avery's counsel Kathleen Zellner, on the other hand, denied the claims, saying these were "meant to distract from the facts of the case."
"Mr. Avery categorically denies this unsubstantiated allegation," Zellner said in a released statement sent to The Express.
Just recently, Avery released a note saying that the Manitowoc Police did not investigate the actual culprit of the crime.
"To my supporters: I want everyone to know that no one in my family including me was involved in the murder of Theresa [sic] Hallbach," Avery said.
The defense team will also seek for advanced Luminol testing of the crime scene to show the absence of Halbach's blood in any of Avery's properties, as well as re-evaluate the role of the parked Rav 4 in the crime.
Halbach was spotted dead inside a locked Rav 4 outside Avery's property.
Avery had previously served years for rape but was released 18 years later because of inconclusive DNA evidence.
GQ Magazine UK, on the other hand, said "Making a Murderer" released on Netflix had 19.3 million viewers since its release barely a month ago.
