Accusations on Lee Chatfield
Lee Chatfield has been accused of abusing the woman starting at the age of 15 including one scene at the wedding night. Lee Chatfield confessed his relationship or extramarital affair with his sister-in-law. He confessed that he was involved in the affair in his statement that came forward from the side of the attorney Mary Chartier. The statement also said that it was a relationship where sexual assaults were made on the woman who is now claiming to be raped. The affair lasted long for years when his sister-in-law was nearly 15 and thereby turned to be an adult. However, Mr. Chatfield deeply regrets the decision.
Although, he said that he never sexually assaulted her in any manner during their years-long relationship. And he would surely fight against these false litigations or claims. On the other hand, the attorney of the woman has claimed that the relationship began back in those years when she was merely 15 years old, which is itself a big crime. She also claimed that the man “manipulated” her throughout her visit to the Michigan church. The lawyer also accused Chatfield that he continued to assault the woman even on his wedding night when the lady became an adult. She is now 27 years old.
