Damon's First Disclosure
This is an audiotape that was made right after Damon first told his mom and brother about the incident on February 23, 2003 when she was putting the boys to bed. They had just come home from a visit with their father and Ryan started the conversation by saying that something weird had happened at Eric's--that he had come in in the middle of the night and got up into the top bunk with Damon. He wanted to know what his father was doing to Damon. They told her what happened once, and she came back with a recorder in her pocket so that she could play it for other people and see what they thought.
Damon later said that his father lay on his back and did the "metal/hard thing" to him every time he visited him. That's when Cindy learned that Eric always slept with Damon either in his bed or Damon's. Damon also said that it happened on Eric's lap a lot during the day. He said the first time he could remember was at his Grandmother Julie Oehler's house when he was 4 years old as he slept with Eric in the guest room. Evan and Ryan confirmed Damon had slept with his father while visiting Julie and that Eric always slept with Damon, which Cindy had been unaware of.
