Ms Howard

Good to see you’re back.

Your DeClercq sentencing story was succinct, and although very sad, it was good to see that the judge saw that DeClercq is a pig, sick, and a certified prison bound thug.

It took courage to do investigative work on a successful sailor / member of a high brow (local to Detroit) boat club. and report to all of us that he is a rapist of a three year old girl who happened to be his granddaughter, and a rapist of his daughter!

Great job Ms Howard.

That’s why I’m your subscriber and love Substack.

PEACE

Shame on his wife and son for standing with him against his daughter and granddaughter! He should never see the outside of prison ever again. Thanks for sharing this disturbing story.

Thank you for reading, Jill. I have been surprised by private comments from law enforcement officers who have said they appreciate the coverage.

How tragic not to be believed by your own family.
