Jay T. Mohler-Avery, Connecticut Nurse, Allegedly Recruited Patient, Daughters As Sex Slaves, Police Say

First Posted: 11/21/12 EST Updated: 11/21/12 EST

A nurse practitioner in Connecticut is accused of plotting to kidnap one of his patients and her daughters to imprison them as his sex slaves.

A warrant unsealed on Tuesday in the Superior Court of Rockville claims that Jay T. Mohler-Avery of Hartford attempted to "take delivery of a patient's 18-month-old daughter so he could sexually assault her," NBC Connecticut reports.

Mohler-Avery, 44, was arrested on Oct. 28 after an unidentified female patient told police that the suspect asked her to bring her infant to him so he could "break her in early," the Associated Press reports.

According to the Hartford Courant:

"He offered to financially support her and her children for the rest of their lives in exchange for [the woman] being his 'domestic slave,'" according to the warrant. A domestic slave, he explained to her, would maintain the home and satisfy his sexual needs whenever he wanted.

He also indicated that they would have to have sex regardless of who else was in the room, including her children, according to the warrant.

Mohler-Avery and his co-defendant, Candace Merriam, 46, run a private practice in Connecticut. Police also arrested Merriam in the late October.

Mohler-Avery faces charges of attempted first-degree sexual assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree sexual assault, attempted risk of injury to a minor and conspiracy to commit risk of injury to a minor.

The comments I made yesterday didn't make it on here, so let's see if this one does. Pedophilia is rampant in our society. The level of proof to even be arrested is so high. I'm surprised these people were arrested on accusations alone. It was my experience just someone's accusation wasn't enough, there had to be other proof, like a video or witness, or physical proof like evidence of rape. We'll see how far this case goes, maybe. I remember a few years ago a Missouri family. Accusations made the news, but then we didn't hear anything more about it.

I Hope When He Gets To Prison, They Will Use Him Like A Pin Cushion.

There is no kind of justice like jail house justice.

Exactly. The sex offenders and child molesters are kept entirely segregated from the rest of the prison population. ENTIRELY.

this is exactly why we should have executions and quit housing these people in prisons for their lives and paying out the wazoo to do so. They are total wastes of good body parts.

Wastes of human DNA. Glad they stopped this, but I'd be worried that he has been vicitmizing children up until he was caught trying this. Not sure what the partner did, per the article, but if she was aware of this she needs to be prosecuted also.

Wow....they don't look too happy in that photo.....but the point, domestic slave happens in many households. Its called wife or husband. In fact, the person that cares the least has the most power. As far as an 18 month old being broken in......and financially supporting everyone in exchange for sexual favors. There is way more to this story than what we all read........

I was once recruited on a similar deal. I was young and innocent. I had to swear to sleep only with the woman and to support her... I didn't know I would also become her sex slave and her house maintenance slave.

For some reason I never left... must have been the Stockholm syndrome.

And the reason you keep her is because of the cost of the severance package.

It's OK you are not alone. My support group meets often to enjoy the things we had before our captivity.

If this is indeed true it's sick...but if this is a made up story to extract revenge for some unrelated reason...that would be just as if not MORE sick, especially since it is so easy now to manipulate the media and law enforcement merely by the outlandishment of some claim....

I think they need to stiffen the penalties for child abuse. Too many perverts getting off with a slap on the wrist. They might try to use a little more self control if they knew they faced a harsher sentence.
