Aswad Ayinde
The award-winning director Aswad Ayinde, aka Charles McGill, well known for directing the “Killing Me Softly” video by The Fugees, is accused of allegedly impregnating three of his daughters, and raping all five of them. The 51-year-old director is facing 27 charges, including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact and more. Ayinde is being held on a $1-million bond.
The daughter’s names have not yet been released, and their present whereabouts are unknown. There are five trials scheduled for each of the daughters he allegedly raped and abused with the first trial commencing next month, according to prosecutor Lisa Squitieri. Prosecutors state that Ayinde is a religious fanatic who is obsessed with creating a pure bloodline and this is his reasoning for raping his children. Court records indicate that the Ayinde girls were abused from the 1980’s to 2002. The alleged molestations took place in an abandoned East Orange, New Jersey, funeral home, where it is claimed the family had squatted for quite some time.
The children were home-schooled and never attempted to escape or alert anyone to their situation. Ayinde allegedly beat his children in to submission with objects like wooden boards and even used steel-toed boots to kick them according to police reports. His ex-wife Beverly Ayinde, who has nine children with the offender, claimed she would have been beaten for speaking of “Pedophilia” and never contacted authorities regarding the treatment of herself or her children. Ayide has passed himself off as an artist, his daughters as his wives, and did this all without social services stopping him despite being arrested and pleading guilty to assault and child endangerment.
From Randi James: ‘Killing Me Softly’ Will Never Have the Same Meaning
I want readers to know that in cases like this, often times the mother gets charged for crimes as well. It doesn’t matter if she was a victim herself. Furthermore, it seems that social services had been investigating this family at one time or another, and yet these disgusting actions were somehow allowed to continue. Social services…child protective services….they serve to take your children, and get government money for it. They rarely help or protect children when it really counts, particularly when intrafamilial sexual abuse is involved.
Check out this case in Britain:
Care failings allowed British Fritzl to get daughters pregnant 18 times
* Father abused daughters over 35 years
* Family seen by over 100 professionals
* Social services apologises to women
A MAN raped his two daughters and fathered nine babies with them during 35 years of physical and sexual abuse.
And he escaped detection because care professionals missed numerous chances to intervene.
Agencies involved with the family repeatedly failed to take action even though the father was accused of incest on seven separate occasions, with a further 12 reported incidents of violence.
Today authorities issued an unreserved apology to the abused women.
The 57-year-old man, from Sheffield, England, was jailed for life in November 2008 after one of his daughters accused him of incest.
The man, who cannot be named, admitted 25 rapes and four indecent assaults, with the attacks beginning in 1980.
If his daughters refused his advances, they would be punched, kicked and sometimes held in the flames of a gas fire.
The case echoes of that of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian who imprisoned and raped his daughter.
Between 1975 and 2008 the family came into contact with 28 different agencies and more than 100 professionals…read more here

Video: ‘Killing Me Softly With His Song’ by the Fugees
Strumming my pain with his fingers,

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young bwoy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with this song,

With his song, telling my whole life,
With his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters then read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on-
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
(One Time, one time!)
Singing my life with his words,
(Two Times, two times!)
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly
With his song,
Tellin’ my whole life
With his words,
Killing me softly, with his song
