It just gets weirder..Rachel Dolezal supporting victim who accused her brother of child molestation,

Rachel Dolezal supporting victim who accused her brother of child molestation, suggests parents outed her as white in retaliation

The sensitive matter at the center of the Rachel Dolezal family schism concerns a felony case involving charges of sex assault against Dolezal’s older brother, the Daily News has learned.

The white Dolezal, who has made international headlines for masquerading as a black woman, has been assisting a victim who has accused Dolezal's biological older brother of child molestation in Colorado, sources confirmed to The News Saturday.

Joshua Dolezal, 39, was charged in 2013 with four felony counts of sex abuse of a victim who was a minor at the time, sources and court records confirmed.

The ongoing case in Clear Creek County is set to go to trial later this summer and has a status conference set for Monday, the sources confirmed.

Dolezal declined to speak with The News on Saturday but previously suggested the timing of her white Montana-based parents’ media interviews about her racial identity was somehow connected to the Colorado case — and designed to damage her credibility.

The embattled head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, now under scrutiny for claiming she is black, kept a low profile Saturday after taking the 21-year-old adopted black brother she has been raising as a son to the airport.

Her parents seem to be remarkably effective at accomplishing their goals.

In which case, the only person damaging her credibility is her.

would generally leave her alone to be found out by others if she was harmless. I also wouldn't care if she said she was raised in a teepee, lived in S Africa, had to use a bow and arrow to get food, etc., since grown people can pretty much do what they want. When she shows up years later to support someone with whom I had a legal problem, I would feel within my rights to show to everyone what a liar and fantasist she was. Once someone said something, her life unraveled immediately. And for good reason.
