Under tough cross-examination from the Crown, a London, Ont. mother continued to vehemently deny that she sexually abused her children.
The 54-year-old mother resumed with her testimony Monday for a second straight week in a row.
Crown Attorney Jennifer Moser questioned the woman’s parenting skills and habits which included taping her children’s mouths and forcing them to swallow tabasco sauce when they used foul language.
The Crown asked, “You say they opened their mouths willingly to allow you to shake hot sauce directly down their throats and into their mouth?
“Yes, I do…and it was only when they were younger,” the witness replied.
When referring to earlier testimony that a dog collar was placed around one of the children’s necks, the Crown asked, “The purpose was to humiliate your child?”
The witness responded, “No, I loved my children, I tried everything I thought I could do to give them the best opportunities.”
