Alleged sex assault victim, 16, testifies at trial of former Bay Area attorney

A 16-year-old girl testifying in the felony child sex assault trial of a former Vacaville attorney frequently said she remembered “inappropriate touching” — but not all details of physical abuse.Testifying Monday in Department 25 of Solano County Superior Court, the teenager, taking the witness stand on the sixth day of the trial for James Glenn Haskell, appeared to clearly recall significant instances of punishment and humiliations while living as an adopted child with the lawyer and his wife.

Moore asked her to recall the first instance of when he assaulted her. It was in the family’s second home in Vacaville, when she was living with Haskell and his wife, Emily, who served as vice principal at a Fairfield elementary school and earlier taught at Padan Elementary in Vacaville. Now and then, she would glance at Haskell, bearded and seated at the defense table wearing a tie but no jacket over a white shirt with blue cross-striping, and rumpled blue slacks.

In somewhat shocking testimony, she told Moore that Haskell, using two hands to grip her head, banged her head against the corner of a room wall, something that occurred “more than five times.”The yelling and screaming continued into her freshman year in high school and she became “scared” of James Haskell.

The girl also described being pushed into the family pool during winter. She was removed from the home on Feb. 3, 2022, but lived apart from her three siblings. She continued to say she could not recall all the details of Haskell’s actions, including being unable to recall how may days she slept in the bathroom at night with her brother.East Bay man gets 13 years, 8 months for stabbing woman to death
