https://www.freep.com/story/news/lo...oper-sabrina-giller-ingham-county/1822476002/The sexual abuse started when she was 6.
Her mom knew. Her GM knew. Her GF suspected. Her mom’s coworkers, friends and supervisor knew, records show.
Still, it continued for years.
Just before the girl’s ninth birthday, someone called Child Protective Services to report that her mother’s boyfriend, Ryan Cooper, had sexually abused the girl.
Three months later, in November 2012, CPS took the girl and her siblings away from their mother, Sabrina Giller.
It would take another five years for criminal charges to be filed. Justice, or as much justice as the young girl could get, wouldn’t come until 2018.
Giller knew about the abuse long before CPS took her children away, according to CPS and court records.
“I’d tell (Ryan), ‘please don’t hurt my daughter,’” Giller told police during an interview. “’Please don’t take her virginity.'"
Giller pleaded guilty to abusing her daughter and neglecting to report the abuse. She was sentenced to 4½ to 10 years in prison. Cooper’s brother, Jordan Cooper, also was charged with sexually abusing Giller’s daughter. His case is still pending.
Giller had a hearing Wednesday to attempt to withdraw her guilty plea. Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina rejected her request.
Ryan Cooper was sentenced to 10 to 30 years in prison, which Aquilina called a “crappy” and “sad” deal.
