HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) –
A man once praised for adopting troubled youth on the Big Island is now being called a “monster” by his own boys.
Jay Ram fled the Big Island years ago, leaving a trail of accusations that he molested boys that he adopted. A New York news site recently caught up with the man in Florida, where he now lives.
According to Vice News, the allegations stretch back to the 1970s when the young hippie started a commune near Davis, Calif. where he allegedly forced his sons to perform sex acts. He later moved to a farm in Hakalau on the Big Island. …
The lawsuits were made possible by a two-year “window” that allows sex abuse victims to seek justice … even though the statute of limitations may have run out. That window closes next week.
