- Marilynn Knutsen’s First Deposition
-
Wayne & Mrs. Doubtfire costumes
She claimed that Wayne dressed up as “Mrs. Doubtfire” — complete with hair, makeup, and fake breasts. -
Armpit-smelling & strange behavior
She testified that my son said Wayne made him smell his armpits, and that Wayne liked to dress up as women, sometimes as me. -
Tails inserted into rectum
She alleged that pajama bottoms were cut open so “tails” could be inserted into my son’s rectum. She said he demonstrated with his fingers “how far up” the tails went. She expanded the claim into a list of costumes — tiger, cheetah, dog, yeti, werewolf, salmon — supposedly used in these episodes. -
Tea parties with beer & bondage
She said my son told her that I held “tea parties” where Wayne and I dressed up as women, served beer instead of tea, and that my son was “usually tied up” during these events. -
Spring skiing danger narrative
She accused me of endangering my son by planning to take him “spring skiing” on May 4, when there was no snow. She said she even called Jay Peak to check conditions and was told the trails weren’t open. -
Duct tape punishment
She alleged that I used duct tape as a penalty for time outs — wrapping it around my son’s mouth. She said she had seen tape residue on his clothing and “badly chafed lips.” -
Complicity of my family & friends
She claimed my family and friends didn’t protect my son because they also smoked marijuana. She singled out my relative Gary, saying “he certainly has a lot to lose, he is an airline pilot.” -
Federal crime framing
She testified that tying up a child was “criminal and a federal offense,” and that she and Ray wanted to take the matter to the U.S. Attorney.
