According to reports, following a Rutherford County grand jury meeting, more charges have been brought against a woman whose son was abused by her boyfriend, in what police allege was part of a satanic ritual. Elizabeth Hoagland was charged with failure to protect, but police allegedly uncovered evidence which indicated that she knew more about the abuse than she had  reported. Hoagland’s 5 year old son, had to be treated for multiple injuries, including kidney contusions and a lacerated liver and
she has now been charged with child abuse in addition to aggravated assault.

Hoagland’s boyfriend, John David Lotts Jr., had been charged with aggravated child abuse of a child under 8, but now faces charges of perjury and violation of the sex offender registry, which does not permit offenders to live in households with unrelated children. Reportedly, when Lotts was arrested, he admitted to being a member of the Church of Satan, but denied any connection between his faith and the abuse he inflicted on the child, however, according to police reports, Lotts abused the child in several Satanic rituals. Reportedly, the child has been placed with the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.
