The Body

Judge Keeps Corneaus in Jail

Rebecca and David Corneau, members of the Attleboro (MA) sect called The Body, jailed for refusing to reveal the location of their baby, will spend at least one more month behind bars, a Bristol County Juvenile Court judge ruled on March 15. Authorities believe that a child was born last fall to the couple, who with their brethren shun modern medical practices.

The Corneaus contend that she suffered a third-trimester miscarriage, and that the child was stillborn, although they would not further discuss the matter. The Judge first jailed the couple for contempt in early February after they failed to cooperate in a custody hearing [concerning the conjectured child.] The Corneaus said that their beliefs prohibit them from taking an oath. The judge said that he did not believe them. And no witnesses testified about a miscarriage or birth because the Corneaus said that their faith does not require them to offer proof. (CNN News, 1/15/02, Internet)

Another Corneau child died soon after birth several years ago and was secretly buried in Maine alongside an infant cousin, who prosecutors say was starved to death by the cult. Sect members have been charged in the cousin's death.

Massachusetts Court of Appeals Justice Janis Berry has called The Body a cult that endangers children. The state took custody of the Corneaus' four other children. (Boston Globe, 3/25/02, Internet)
