The edit says the main source was from a person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder and that scary movie 2 came out after the sex gang broke up. Not that I don't believe some shit is up, some of the material seems off.

You should be skeptical as so much of this stuff is horrific, bizarre, and we do not want it to be so.
As one who personally experienced somewhat milder versions of these abuses, I can attest that split personalities and repressed memories are all too real.
This particular aspect makes it easy to dismiss these allegations, all the more so if an observer - you in this case - might be prompted to DO something if the truth were indisputably displayed.
Suggestion ... Check up on how Dutch therapist Nijenhuis and Fiona Bartlett could BOTH identify Australian army base Holsworthy as a place where they were abused.
How many people on the planet even HEARD of Holsworthy let alone connect it with these atrocities.
D.C. Hammond's famous "Greenbaum Speech" - given in front of a convention of therapists in the early 90's - is a great place to start to address these personality issues.
Ball is in your court, my friend.
Both the Correction and Edit happened in February 2004, within 1 month after the article was first written.
Also, the fact that a young woman had Multiple Personality Disorder tends to be in-and-of itself a sign of severe mental trauma as a young child, corroborating her story of the traumas she faced, and how she had to teach the younger ones how to "float away so that things don't hurt" (AKA "let a subconscious personality take over, so that your conscious mind doesn't experience as much trauma").
That's right. Disassociation from the trauma. I expect nothing less from a survivor of childhood trauma. This is textbook. Doesn't invalidate her story at all. Good point.
I do this, It helps, cheaper than drugs. Now than im clean I still use this tactic to cope. I'm still learning real coping skills. I am not a sex slave, Just a guy with a real fucked up life.

Did the edit come after the NYT was compromised?
