ASHLEY PEREIRA was raped by ex-Jason Greathouse in Alabama at 14, and her parents pushed her to marry him. They are now divorced. He just was let off with no jail time. They both now live in Tennessee (him in HENDERSONVILLE) and she’s forced to share custody of their child with him, while he doesn’t pay any child support.
CLIP: “Seeing my daughter at 14—it sits worse with me. Imagining looking her in the eye like ‘you have to co-parent with your rapist for 18 years.’”@Theasheira was raped at 14, her parents pushed to marry him. He got no prison. They share custody.

We spoke with fired teacher Matthew Hawn & Poet Kyla Jenee Lacey. Hawn is popular with students, a victim of anti-CRT furor. It’s under review, and would be Sullivan County’s loss.
