Slevin has also countersued Courtney for defamation. Courtney's mother Jeanne Tamagny, who is also a plaintiff on the lawsuit, is in the process of divorcing her father. The lawsuit states that the 20-year-old's sisters were also subjected to abuse, adding that their father sedated them with drugs before assaulting them.

She also alleged that her father had threatened to murder her mother if she spoke up about the 'rituals'. Her lawsuit claims that she was taken to the woods in Rockland County New York.

She claimed that after this, cult members would find them and assault them. 'You weren't going to win, you were always going to be hit, they just wanted you to look terrified and run," Courtney said. However, Slevin's attorney has rejected Courtney's accusations, saying they had been probed by the US Homeland Security, the Attorney General's Office in New Jersey, and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office. '…They found no basis at all for these outrageous allegations,' attorney Kevin Corston told the New York Post.

Satanic Rituals, Sex Abuse: US Top Cop's Daughter Accuses Him Of Torture
New Delhi: The daughter of a long-time New Jersey police chief has claimed that she was tortured and sexually abused "ritualistically" for over ten years by her father, neighbour, and others. In a lawsuit, Courtney Tamagny shared how she survived sexual abuse by her father, Leonia Police Chief Scott Tamagny, his neighbour Kevin Slevin, and a few others. Speaking on the podcast 'We're All Insane' in April, Ms Tamagny said that generations of her father's "bloodline" had been part of a satanic cult with many of their neighbours in their town in North Jersey. They allegedly ritually raped her and her siblings, trafficked children, and burned them alive in their local woods. On the podcast, she claimed that the local cultists had "tunnels" that they would use to secretly carry out their rituals, which supposedly included "burnings" that would go on all night, "drum circles," and "taking kids' blood." "Animal burnings, animal skins, and human burnings," she said on the show, claiming that a large portion of the alleged violence was meant to scare victims into silence. Ms Tamagny added that she was also subjected to "satanic ritual abuse," bringing light to a world that is often hidden and dark. According to the lawsuit, Ms Tamagny was allegedly abused from 2009, when she was only 4 years old, to 2020, when she was 15. The 20-year-old alleged she was mistreated by her father and Slevin in their house, as well as by "ritualistic" worshippers in the woods close to their home. The father also allegedly threatened to kill her mother if she ever spoke up. She was drugged, raped, threatened, trafficked, and tormented in nearby forested regions during "satanic rituals" performed by masked cult members, she added. According to the lawsuit, Ms Tamagny's sisters were also allegedly abused by their father, who used drugs to make them drowsy before assaulting them while their mother was either away or wearing earplugs. According to the lawsuit, the woman ignored the horrific events of the past until 2022, when genital pain treatment brought back memories. Later, an official abuse complaint was submitted by her therapist. Since then, Ms Tamagny and her mother, Jeanne Tamagny, have gone public through podcasts, social media, and a petition demanding the New Jersey police chief's dismissal. Her father, and the neighbour, Slevin, refuted allegations, saying they were thoroughly examined up to the federal level. Slevin has even filed a slander countersuit against Ms Tamagny, The New York Post reported.

Both of Ms Tamagny's sisters were also allegedly subjected to abuse, according to the lawsuit, with their father allegedly using drugs to sedate them before assaulting them when their mother was either away or asleep with earplugs in a downstairs bedroom. The mother, Jeanne Tamagny, joined Ms Tamagny as a plaintiff on the lawsuit and is in the process of divorcing her husband. Ms Tamagny also claims she suppressed memories of the abuse for years as a survival tactic, and that she only began recalling them after a visit to a doctor for genital pain.

She described those alleged memories in detail on the podcast We're All Insane in April, claiming that generations of her father's 'bloodline' had been in a satanic cult alongside numerous neighbours in their North Jersey town — and that they ritualistically raped her and her siblings, and even allegedly trafficked children and burned them alive in their local woods. She alleges the abuse started when she was four. Picture: Instagram Ms Tamagny claimed on the podcast that the neighbourhood cultists had 'tunnels' they would use to covertly operate their rituals, which allegedly included 'taking kids' blood', 'drum circles' and 'burnings' that would last all night. 'Burnings of animals, animal skins, humans as well,' she said on the show, claiming that much of the alleged violence was intended to terrify victims into silence. '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,'' she continued to relay on the episode, adding that the alleged cult was part of a national cabal of Satanists engaged in child trafficking.

Ms Tamagny also claimed on the podcast that her father used his position in local law enforcement to trap her in a world of abuse, and that anytime she reached out for help, she was rebuffed. In addition to suing her father and Mr Slevin, Ms Tamagny also named the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, the State of New Jersey, various state child protective services and others. Chief Tamagny and Mr Slevin have both vehemently denied the claims. 'It's made up out of whole cloth,' Mr Slevin's attorney, Kevin Corriston, told The Post. '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,' Mr Corriston continued. '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,' he said, adding that Courtney's allegations are 'remarkably similar' to the plots in several books and movies in particular.
