Defense Compares Alien Abduction to Sex Assault in Derry Case The Defense of Murray Huber, 57, a Derry man, brought in an expert witness Harvard professor Dr. Harrison Pope at the dismissal hearing in an attempt to throw out eighteen counts of sexual abuse and incest. Pope testified that the alleged victim’s “recovered memories” were deceitful and compared the emotional feedback of the alleged victims with victims of highly flimsy traumatic events. Pope presented a study conducted in 2003 on victims suffered from “alien abduction” presented with significant Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, sleep paralysis and psychophysical symptoms. Contrary to the victims’ claims, sufficient evidence showed the abductions were fictitious.
