"They still believed in Santa Claus!"
CRAWFORDVILLE — Two starkly different accounts are unfolding about the lives of adopted twins and their parents, Mirko and Regina Ceska, on the 3-acre homestead on Lonnie Raker Lane in Wakulla County.
The 22-year-old twins, adopted a decade ago, say theirs was a life of captivity, forced labor, physical and verbal abuse and eventually sexual abuse by so-called “doomsday preppers.”
Lawyers for the Ceskas say they are a loving family living off the land and trying to guide two unruly girls with a penchant for lying and behavioral problems that stem from their abusive early upbringing.
The twins' story captivated the community and the nation when the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest and shared details of the case on the night of July 12 on Facebook.
