She has filed a lawsuit against her dad, New Jersey's Leonia Police Chief Scott Tamagny as well as a neighbor, Kevin Slevin.
Dad Tamagny and neighbor Slevin say the claims were thoroughly investigated as high as the federal government and determined to be unfounded.
Slevin has even countersued Courtney for defamation.
But Courtney hasn't shied away from the legal chaos as she has taken her claims public, appearing on podcasts to describe the alleged sexual abuse.

The 20-year-old claims her dad and Slevin abused her in their home, as well as "ritualistic" masked worshippers in the local woodland.
Her dad also allegedly threatened to murder her mom if she ever spoke up, court documents revealed.
The lawsuit claimed: "[Courtney was brought] into the woods in Rockland County New York, and there was what appeared to be other middle-aged men present with masks on their faces."
Here, she allegedly recalls there "being fire and animals being burned, and they would chant as if ritualistic".

It further claimed: "She was sexually assaulted in those woods by defendant Slevin, defendant father, and some of the other men present."
The alleged heinous abuse began in 2009 when Courtney was around four years old, with the lawsuit claiming it continued until she was 15, in 2020.
Both of Courtney's sisters are also allegedly victims of abuse, according to the lawsuit.

Courtney's mom, Jeanne Tamagny, stood by her daughters side as a plaintiff on the lawsuit and is in the process of divorcing her husband.
The 20-year-old also claims that, as a survival tactic, she suppressed memories of the abuse - with her only recalling the horrific ordeal after a visit to a doctor for genital pain.
The doctor had asked Courtney if she had been sexually abuse, which caused her to have flashbacks, the suit claims.
It was her therapist that eventually reported the abuse to authorities in 2022, court papers say.

Courtney has described the alleged abuse on a podcast in April called 'We're All Insane'.
Here she also claimed generation of her dad's "bloodline" had been in a satanic cult with neighbors in their North Jersey town.

She further alleged they ritualistically raped her and her siblings - and even trafficked children and burned them alive in the woods.

Courtney claimed on the pod that the neighborhood cult members had underground "tunnels" which they would use to operate their rituals.
This included allegedly "taking kids' blood," "drum circles" and "burnings" - which would last all night.
Courtney said on the show: "Burnings of animals, animal skins, humans as well."
She added: "What scared us the most is 'Ok, we're doing this to these people we've trafficked, why wouldn't we do this to you? Because we just did that to this young girl or this young boy."

Courtney said the alleged cult was part of a national group of satanists that engaged in child trafficking.
She also talked of the alleged "games" that would occur - but "were not games".
One was allegedly called "Hunter and Gatherers" where more than 10 children were released into the woods and told to hide.
Cult members would then allegedly find them before assaulting them.

Courtney claimed on the pod: "They made it as if it was a game and you could win.
"You weren't going to win, you were always going to be hit, they just wanted you to look terrified and run."

Courtney also claimed her dad used his position of being in local
law
enforcement to trap her in the abuse, thwarting any opportunity for her to get help.
The 20-year-old is suing her dad and neighbor Slevin, and has also named the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, the State of New Jersey, numerous state child protective services, among others.

Tamagny and Slevin have both vehemently denied the claims.
Slevin's attorney, Kevin Corriston, told
"This entire complaint was previously investigated by everybody from Homeland Security, to the Attorney General's Office in New Jersey, to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, and they found no basis at all for these outrageous allegations.
"Having got no satisfaction from law enforcement, she now decided to sue all the people who were involved in the investigation.

"These claims are on their face unbelievable. There is no way in the world that there was some sort of secret satanic child sex cult operating out of
Riverdale
, New Jersey.
"This is a fantasy made up in her mind."
The countersuit filed by Slevin accuses Courtney of defamation and claims her allegations have "exposed [him] to public ridicule and held in disrepute".
Courtney's claims have also caused him "extreme embarrassment and humiliation and severe mental distress".

Tamagny's attorney, similar to Slevin's, called the allegations "completely false and defamatory".

Family blast paedophile who abused girl during sleepovers
A paedophile, who sexually abused a girl during sleepovers with one of his own children, was jailed today for seven years with final 12 months suspended. The man, who cannot be named to protect the anonymity of the victim, sexually groomed the girl and got her to send him explicit videos of herself via her mobile phone. The girl's family rejected an apology from the man through his barrister at his sentencing hearing, held at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court. The court heard that the man, with an address in County Clare, would whisper to the girl, 'Don't tell, don't tell, it is our little secret', after he abused her. The abuse started in 2010, when the girl was aged ten, and the man was in his 40s, and continued until the girl was 15. The victim eventually made a formal complaint to Gardaí when she was 16, in 2016. The man left Ireland after he was arrested and questioned and released on bail pending further enquiries in 2017. He was in custody since he was re-arrested abroad in 2024 on foot of an extradition warrant in respect of 31 child-sex related charges.

'She saw him touch his penis with his hand. It was not the first time this happened. He said she was 'beautiful' and a 'special girl'. He actively groomed her for his own sexual gratification,' said prosecuting barrister John O'Sullivan. The man would also put the victim's hand on his penis and he would put his fingers into her vagina. 'He told her, 'This is our little secret',' Mr O'Sullivan man groomed the girl for his sexual pleasure through chats with the girl via the Facebook and Viber social media platforms, late at night, and when she attended his home on sleepovers with one of his man sent the victim 10 images of his penis and asked her to send him images of her private parts.

'She didn't want that,' Mr O'Sullivan told the she made a formal complaint to Gardaí, the girl told specially-trained detectives who deal with sex cases involving minors, that she 'asked (the man) to stop' and that 'it felt weird' after he asked her to kiss his penis and he kissed her vagina. Reading a victim impact statement in court the girl said her life had been destroyed by the abuse. The girl, now in her 20s, said she continues to suffer from flashbacks, severe depression, anxiety and a complex post traumatic stress disorder. 'He will never truly understand what he did to me. He stole my childhood and he stole my adulthood because I will never cleanse the memories from my mind,' the victim said.'The abuse continues to filter into my daily life in unexpected ways and trigger me. A song he used to play might play in a shop and it instantly transports me back, memories of what he did would surge into my mind. I can still hear his voice whisper, 'Don't tell, don't tell, it's our little secret'.'The man's barrister, senior counsel Mark Nicholas, said the defendant is in his 50s, had no prior convictions, and he was considered by a psychologist as being below average risk of Nicholas read out a letter of apology from the man expressing his remorse and shame. A member of the girl's family, who was sitting in the court with her, replied: 'We don't accept your apology.' Mr O'Sullivan said the victim was entitled to her right to anonymity, and that the 'issue of publicity' in respect of the defendant's identify could be finalised at the conclusion of the criminal proceedings. Sentencing Judge Colin Daly ordered no parties could be identified. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here
