Overview

• Courtney Tamagny filed a lawsuit in early July in Bergen County, accusing her father, a police chief, neighbor Kevin Slevin and others of abuse from 2009 to 2020.
• The suit describes masked ceremonies in Rockland County woods involving fire, animal burnings, blood rituals and chants as part of an alleged satanic cult.
• Tamagny says she repressed these memories until a 2022 doctor’s visit for genital pain prompted flashbacks and led her therapist to report the abuse.
• Both Scott Tamagny and Slevin deny the allegations, citing federal, state and local probes that found no evidence, while Slevin has countersued for defamation.
• The complaint also targets the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, New Jersey child welfare agencies and the state for inaction, and Tamagny’s petition to suspend her father continues to gather support.
