‘Making a Murderer’ Reporter: Evidence Ignored That Steven Avery Sexually Abused Brendan Dassey

But Avery’s attorney strongly denies to TheWrap that Avery molested his nephew, Dassey

One of the reporters who covered the “Making a Murderer” trial says everyone involved — police, lawyers, and the filmmakers who re-examined the case — has ignored statements by Brendan Dassey that Steven Avery touched him inappropriately.

TheWrap has obtained transcripts containing Dassey’s statements on the issue. In a May 13, 2006 police interview, Dassey told police that Avery, his uncle, sometimes tried to grab his penis “through the pants.” In a phone call later that day to his mother, Barb Tadych, Dassey said he told police that Avery “would grab me somewhere where I was uncomfortable.”
