Ultimate Judgment: A Case of Emotional Corruption, Betrayal and Abuse

Ultimate Judgment: A Case of Emotional Corruption, Betrayal and Abuse Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When millionaire shrimping magnate Donald Sahlman died of cancer in November 1992, his friends, family and business associates crowded into a church in Tampa, Florida to mourn a man who was gentle, generous and compassionate. But their benevolent image of Sahlman was about to be shattered. In a case that would shock all who knew him and set a legal precedent, Sahlman was put on trail and posthumously charged with the heinous sexual abuse of his stepdaughter.

This is a gripping story documented with actual court transcripts as Clairmonte details the sexual and emotional abuse she suffered at her stepfather's hands for twenty-five years. Perhaps even more shocking are Clairmonte's allegations against her own mother, who conspired in the abuse and even facilitated it, selling her daughter into sexual and emotional slavery for financial security. In this precedent-setting court case, Sahlman's estate was ordered to pay Meg Clairmonte $3 million. This riveting story is one of emotional corruption, obsession and betrayal at their darkest levels, but more importantly, it is the story of human courage, resilience and ultimate triumph.

Synopsis:

In one of the most publicized cases in Florida history, a stepfather is convicted posthumously of the heinous sexual abuse of his stepdaughter. This is Meg Clairmonte's gripping story--documented with actual court transcripts--as she details the sexual and emotional abuse she suffered at Donald Sahlman's hands for 25 years.
