Maurice Bowers, 68, is on trial charged with 17 child sex offenses related to the abuse of two girls in the 1970s and 1980s. Prosecutor Julie Whitby claimed Bowers began abusing one girl at age four and another at age 11. The alleged abuse involved a game called squash, which Bowers purportedly used to incite the girls for his own gratification under the guise of innocent play. Both victims provided consistent accounts, while Bowers denied the charges, disputing their frequency and nature.
Prosecutor Julie Whitby stated that Maurice Bowers began abusing the first victim when she was four years old, later also abusing a second victim at age 11.
The abuse allegedly involved a game called squash, where Bowers encouraged the girls to sit on him, condoning this as innocent play for his own gratification.
