Multiple Fathers Face Murder Charges Linked to Sexual Assault Allegations Across US

Several tragic family-related homicides and violent incidents have recently unfolded across the United States, often involving allegations of sexual abuse within families. In Florida and Georgia, Andrew Wiley was charged with the murder and sexual assault of his 12-year-old daughter Lori Paige, who was found dead nearly two years after her disappearance; Wiley died in jail before standing trial. In Arkansas, Aaron Spencer killed Michael Fosler, a man accused of sexually assaulting Spencer’s teenage daughter, after pursuing Fosler to rescue his daughter. Similarly, in New Mexico, De Andre Julian was arrested for fatally shooting his girlfriend’s father following a heated argument. In Virginia, deputies fatally shot a man who reported killing his own father and then threatened officers with a gun. These cases highlight a disturbing pattern of familial violence often linked to sexual abuse allegations and raise complex questions about justice and prevention.
