Mireya Evans, 20, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for her role in the heinous abuse of children that lasted for years. Evans testified during the trial of her co-defendant, David Calhoun, saying he groomed her from the age of 17 and forced her to hurt the victims. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber examines the case with Anna Sonoda, licensed clinical social worker and author of the book “Duck Duck Groom: Understanding How a Child Becomes a Target.”

  • Wtf... honestly people like this makes it hard to argue against the death penalty or torture. These are some of the worst people ever. Those poor kids man
  • @megangenne
    Leave the damn children alone! So much evil in this world!
  • @Fredie_c
    She's equally responsible and has her own mind and mental faculties. She gets no pass.
  • @twinkletee22
    Smh I’m so sick of hearing about these kinds of stories of people abusing children
  • @tmoney360
    This is one of those stories were you hope that "do you know what they do to child abusers in prison?" holds true.
  • @Jaccd
    This is sickening.
  • @UnknownWarriorZz
    18 years is unacceptable I don’t care about the mitigating factors that woman tried to use to make that girl a victim.
  • @Trome1200
    I hope their fellow prison mates know of their crimes.
  • I always say that one of the most important things about someone is how they treat the weak, the young/old, the vulnerable, and the defenseless. Anyone whose instinct is to abuse rather than protect the vulnerable, is a person who cannot live safely in society. Unfortunately there are many like that. Stay safe, be kind, be brave and stand up to predators🙏💕
  • @Stacyr4567
    Parents need to be careful who they leave their children with. Even relatives, you just never know.
  • @hadley407
    Why do two of them look so happy in their mugshots?! WTF!! 🤬
  • @monsoonBloom
    Finally a very articulate, clear, educated and refined professional guest. She knows how to convey info on all levels. Someone that isn't just the "law". Great guest.
  • @sinead187
    Stories that involve crimes against innocent children are deeply upsetting.
  • @ulysses-hx3dm
    There are so many people you pass by every day who are absolutely evil in private. Don't assume all people are human.
  • @jasmineturner157
    I just threw up. 😢I can’t not imagine going through this I’m sick to my stomach
