The girls were 14, 15 and 16; Zane Merreighn, the adult son of a Springfield police detective, is charged with sexually abusing them, and their parents say area law enforcement failed to adequately protect their daughters.
Merreighn, the 22-year-old son of detective Jennifer Oglesby Mack, was arrested Oct. 26 on charges of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl. After the arrest, Illinois State Police continued to investigate additional allegations, and on Jan. 26 he was indicted on multiple counts of sexual abuse and sexual assault involving the two other girls.
