Scott Tamagny, a New Jersey police chief, has been accused of involvement in illegal activities, including abuse and assault. The accusations were made by his daughter, Courtney Tamagny, who alleged that her father and other neighbours had sexually abused her over a period of more than a decade. Courtney has been sharing details about the abuse in several podcasts and has also started a petition to have her father removed from the police force.
In a podcast titled We’re All Insane, Courtney went public with allegations against her father, Leonia Police Chief Scott Tamagny, his neighbour Kevin Slevin, and several others. She claimed to have been subjected to torture and assault for over ten years under the guise of a ritualistic cult. She also alleged that her father’s bloodline is part of a satanic institution, which includes some of his neighbours as well. According to her, as part of a “ritual," these individuals raped her and her siblings, trafficked children, and even burned some alive.
A New York Post report suggests that both Scott and Kevin have denied the claims, stating that they were unfounded during a federal investigation. Kevin has also filed a defamation suit against Courtney over her statements.
In the podcast episode, which was released in April, Courtney described the rituals, alleging that members of the cult used “tunnels" to carry them out. In fact, according to court documents, her father, the New Jersey Police Chief, threatened to kill her mother if she ever spoke to anyone about it.
The documents revealed that the abuse against Courtney began as early as 2009, when she was just 4 years old. It continued until she turned 15 in 2020. Moreover, her sisters were also reportedly abused repeatedly after being sedated using drugs. Their mother, Jeanne Tamagny, has joined Courtney as a plaintiff against her husband. As per reports, the assaults took place when she was either away from home or asleep in another room.
Courtney’s claims have also been substantiated by her therapist in the lawsuit, who recalled how questions about sexual abuse brought her painful flashbacks. The doctor went on to report the incident and abuse to authorities in 2022.
Unfortunately, Courtney never received help from police authorities, as she claims that her father used his position to influence others and assert pressure. To ensure that her father gets suspended, she has now opened a Change.org petition, seeking support online.
While Courtney has filed a lawsuit against all those involved in the act of assault, Officer Tamagny and Kevin have denied the claims. Kevin’s countersuit mentions that the accusations have “exposed him to public ridicule" and caused “extreme embarrassment and humiliation and severe mental distress." Meanwhile, Scott has called the allegations “completely false and defamatory."
