HOLZINGER v. HOLZINGER
(Continued)
2. Charles H. Holzinger and Millicent B. Holzinger
(hereinafter referred to as "CHARLES" and "MILLICENT")
are adult individuals, husband and wife, who reside at
365 Sylvan Retreat Road, Columbia, Pennsylvania 17512.
3. CHARLES and MILLICENT are REBECCA'S natural
parents.
4. During 2001, REBECCA began to recall various
disconnected events from her childhood.
5. Because REBECCA found some of these events to be
disturbing, in January 2002, she sought professional
assistance from Evergreen Counseling Associates.
6. On or about April 14, 2002, REBECCA read an e-mail
sent to her and the other immediate members of her
family, from her former sister-in-law concerning
certain activities by that woman's former husband,
Tom, REBECCA'S brother.
7. Over the next two weeks, REBECCA experienced
severe emotional distress as she realized that some
of the childhood events she had started to recall
were connected to improper sexual contact by CHARLES.
8. REBECCA recalled an incident from her childhood
when she woke up with CHARLES over her touching her
breasts after having opened her pajama top, while
MILLICENT was present. The next day when she
confronted MILLICENT about the incident, MILLICENT
told her that it was his {CHARLES} house and he
could do whatever he wanted.
9. REBECCA also recalled an incident when she
awakened to CHARLES touching her breasts, and
MILLICENT telling REBECCA that she {MILLICENT}
was present to make sure CHARLES did not go too far.
10. The conduct of CHARLES and MILLICENT described
above is extreme and outrageous.
11. The extreme and outrageous conduct of CHARLES
and MILLICENT described above caused REBECCA
severe emotional distress beginning sometime after
April 14, 2002 and which continues to cause REBECCA
severe emotional distress.
12. The severe emotional distress suffered by
REBECCA as a result of the extreme and outrageous
conduct of CHARLES and MILLICENT described above
has been diagnosed as an adjustment disorder,
depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
13. The actions of CHARLES and MILLICENT as set
forth above were malicious, wanton, willful, cruel,
oppressive and/or exhibited a reckless indifference
to the rights of REBECCA.
WHEREFORE, REBECCA R. HOLZINGER,
demands judgement for compensatory damages
against CHARLES H. HOLZINGER and MILLICENT
B. HOLZINGER, jointly and severally, in an
amount in excess of $50,000 and judgement for
punitive damages against CHARLES H. HOLZINGER and
MILLICENT B. HOLZINGER, jointly and severally,
in an amount in excess of $50,000 plus costs.
